Girl Games, Inc.
 PROFILE
Girl Games puts the go in "Go, girl!" Noticing girls were turned off by the shoot-'em-up fantasies that teenage boys were grabbing off the shelves, Academy Award-winning producer Laura Groppe founded the company to keep girls from getting shut out of high tech. Girl Games' products target girls 8 and up, and include "Let's Talk About Me, Clueless," and "Teen Digital Diva." Girl Games further appeals to girls' social instincts with the PlanetGirl.com Web site, which features chat rooms and multiuser games. The company also engages in research funded by the National Science Foundation to study girl's technology preferences, and creates products for companies such as Mattel and Simon & Schuster.
