Find out who is behind CRAVE:

Melody Biringer has a flair for getting things started. At the sweet age of 18 Melody embarked upon her first entrepreneurial adventure by masterfully merchandising her family’s berries into more than 50 gourmet food products and making Biringer Farm a household name.

As Melody has grown in years, so have her businesses grown in numbers. She has founded several companies—from a furniture store to a fitness studio—and earned a coveted spot on Puget Sound Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” list.

Determined not to let hard work mean no play, Melody invested her startup smarts in CRAVE Party ™, a business devoted to fun and pampering for hard-working women. Now in 15 cities internationally, CRAVE Party ™ features premium spas and retailers and brings women together to chat, nosh, sip, laugh, indulge and relax.

Melody dreams big and she knows that other women too. Remaining true to her entrepreneurial spirit, Melody has created forums to help women turn their aspirations to reality. She brought Ladies Who Launch (the national organization that fosters entrepreneurship and creativity as lifestyle) to three cites. Just now hitting her stride, Melody recently co- founded startup junkie, an entrepreneurial education and services company providing women with the tools and know-how needed to help their businesses soar.

In addition to a keen business sense, Melody possesses a passion for travel and a talent for discovering beautiful boutiques, serene spas and elegant eateries in her favorite cities.

As the visionary and publisher of CRAVE Guidebooks, Melody melds her love of travel and her discerning eye with her industrious spirit and her interest in women owned businesses.

With all her endeavors—fun or financial—Melody aims first and foremost to elevate and celebrate the wonderful works of women.
