The Muse (website)
''The Muse'' (formerly known as ''The Daily Muse'') is a New York City-based online career platform founded in 2011 by Kathryn Minshew, Alexandra Cavoulacos, and Melissa McCreery.

The site was launched under the name ''Company Muse'' in February 2012, and is now known simply as ''The Muse''. The Muse originally launched in Brooklyn as ''The Daily Muse'' on September 6, 2011, with eight editors and eleven columnists. The first version of the site grew from 20,000 u ...
