- 7. success story first business success was her desire to create an alternative news platform. This led to her co- founding the Huffington Post in 2005 alongside Kenneth Lerer, Jonah Peretti, and Andrew Breitbart.The platform published work from both unpaid bloggers and staff writers. It rose rapidly in prominence, and after the first year, the company received $5 million worth of capital from SoftBank, a Japanese multinational conglomerate.

- 8. failure story Even though Arianna’s main business focus until 2016 was The Huffington Post, which has been highly successful, not everything has gone smoothly.For example, one of her significant initiatives, which ultimately failed, was HuffPost Live. $12 million was spent on the project, aiming to venture into real- time internet broadcasting with eight hours of live streaming content per day. Unfortunately, HuffPost Live failed to generate the attention it was created for, and it ceased producing new live content in March 2016.Another initiative at The Huffington Post that was widely viewed as a failure was ‘What’s Working.’ This project aimed to showcase ideas, solutions and highlight inspirational news. However, it was mainly seen as a method to generate ad revenue and didn’t have much of an impact. While Arianna has always had a sizable media presence and appeared on numerous political shows on the BBC and public radio, she unsuccessfully stood as an independent in the 2003 recall election of Gray Davis, who was the California Governor at the time. While she dropped out before the election took place, her name remained on the ballot box, and she received less than 1% of the vote (47,505 votes). The election was ultimately won by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
