85 Broads member Alexa von Tobel, the 27 year old CEO of LearnVest, has worked hard and smart to successfully launch and build her company. And she's as tenacious as she is smart -- making it big takes both. No surprise that her company is now being valued at $100 million. This young gal is a MOONSHOT.
