☆ 51-year-old introvert overcame her 'worst nightmare' to build her $1.2 billion company
  + stars: | 2024-10-05 | by ( Morgan Smith Raffi Paul | Morgan Smith | Raffi Paul | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
Before she built what would become a billion-dollar company, Angie Hicks had to conquer one of her biggest fears: talking to strangers. Hicks — one of the two co-founders of Angi, formerly known as Angie's List — is a self-described introvert. But when the business launched in 1995, she wore many hats — often literally walking door-to-door to recruit Angi's first customers. In 1996, the company rebranded to Angie's List after customers began associating Hicks personally with the recommendations. The company, which went public in 2011, has consistently brought in over one billion dollars every year since 2018.

In 1999, with the dot-com boom near its apogee, Angie’s List moved online. The site, which still charged a subscription fee and also made money through advertising, rated different businesses from A to F in categories like punctuality and professionalism. It also allowed users to write signed reviews about different businesses in their area, which Angie’s List hoped would make reviews fairer and more accurate. Mr. Oesterle became chief executive in 1999, when Ms. Hicks left to attend Harvard Business School. In 2004 Mr. Oesterle stepped away to run Mr. Daniels’s campaign for governor.
