Founded by Power in 2006, Clique Media Group (CMG) operates multiplatform women-focused media brands, including WhoWhatWear, Byrdie, Obsessee, and MyDomaine, and has quietly scaled up without the piles of venture capital common to new media startups. (It even turned down an offer to sell to Yahoo.) The profitable, L.A.–based company is set to grow revenue by nearly 100% this year after launching a clothing line with Target; a new app and a shoe line are in the works, too, and a Power-penned advice book came out this spring.
