As if I haven’t already been thinking that the grey hairs on my head have been taking more space than usual, Inc Magazine just published a list of “30 Under 30“, telling us that a lot of the startups we know, use, and love have founders who are (ghasp!) under 30 years of age!
Some of the companies you undoubtedly have heard of:
- 99designs (Matt Mickiewicz, 27)
- Dropbox (Arash Ferdowsi, 25; Drew Houston, 28)
- Foodspotting (Alexa Andrzejewski, 27; Soraya Darabi, 27; Ted Grubb, 29)
- Grasshopper (Siamak Taghaddos, 29; David Hauser, 29)
