Limor Fried, who earned her masters in electrical engineering and
computer science at MIT, runs Adafruit industries, which sells
do-it-yourself electronics kits. For every kit Adafruit sells, Fried
posts design files, schematics for circuit boards, and any software code
needed. She welcomes people to use the information, and sees it as a
way to foster innovation. "People want to see the world become a better
place through science and engineering," Fried says. "We're going to need
the current
and future generations to get inspired." Fried launched her
company in 2005 with $10,000 that was supposed to go to her tuition.
Any time she made a profit, she made a tuition payment. Today, the
company ships between 150 to 200 orders a day, some of them worth
thousands of dollars.

After I read this story, I can say that Limor Fried is a strong woman in business sector, and she earns more money from her company. In the future, I hope I can be business woman like her because I want to run my own business.
