    Jessica Jackley is the co-founder of Kiva, the world's first peer-to-peer microloan website. At Kiva.org, users can make microloans directly to specific developing world entrepreneurs, who then use the money to start or grow a small business and lift themselves out of poverty. Named one of the top ideas of 2006 by The New York Times Magazine, and praised by Oprah, Bill Clinton and countless others, Kiva is one of the fastest-growing social benefit websites in history. For all its success, Kiva remains animated by a simple message (“To connect people through lending to alleviate poverty”) and by the idea that relationships are a powerful force for positive change, Jackley, a finalist for Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2009 and an honoree for USA Networks' Character Approved award in 2010, recently was named one of the most influential women in technology by Fast Company Magazine.
