List of young entrepreneurs interviews

Little did I know back in 2007 when I’ve started the Entrepreneurship-interviews.com blog (back then was named Entrepreneur Interviews, but that’s another story). With each interview I learn that some people are just made for that, finding business opportunities, get to work and grow a business. To understand how interesting this journey has been so far, I think the youngest entrepreneur I interviewed was 16 and I’m not even talking yet about my perpetual amazement seeing that even the most un-likely businesses have the chance to become successful in the hands of the right entrepreneur. As Bob Parsons (GoDaddy’s Founder and CEO) says: “Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted.  Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work.  It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, and you wouldn’t have an opportunity.”

Interview with young entrepreneur Anthony G Adams (25)

Have you seen the The Hangover ? Well, last night I had the chance to interview young Entrepreneur Anthony G Adams from THC, aka the The Hangover Cure - a company that created a dietary supplement powder drink mix that prevents hangovers. He is one of these guys that see being laid off from a big IT company as a great opportunity to start a business in the middle of the economic crisis. With distribution in 5 continents since the launch of the company at the beginning of the year, Anthony is a highly energetic 25 years old entrepreneur getting ready to rule the World.

Cristian: Hi Anthony and welcome!  You are one of these guys that started a business in the middle of the economic crisis. What is your business about?

Anthony: Hi Cristian, thank you for having me, I really appreciate the opportunity.  I created and oversee a dietary supplement powder drink mix that prevents hangovers called THC-The Hangover Cure.  My product is for sale online at www.drinkthc.com and through various distribution channels worldwide.

Cristian: You told me that you’ve been laid off from a big company this year due to the economic crisis, so being laid off can be good sometimes?

Interview with young entrepreneur Andrea D’Intino from Tabbles

Cristian: Hi Andrea, welcome to Entrepreneurship-interviews. Tell us a few words about yourself.

Andrea: Hello  Christian, and first let me thank you for this chance and for the good work on your entrepreneurship-interviews.com. Well, about me, I’m a guy with an idea. Before having the idea I worked as a videogame developer first and as a S&M for a developer of industrial solutions. I also earned a BSc. In Economics, which is nicely lodged in my bottom drawer.

Cristian: Ok, we should let the readers know that last year you founded a company called Yellow Blue Soft that creates Tabbles. What exactly is Tabbles?

Andrea: and that would be the idea… the short version would be “it is a virtual folder manager, for desktop, where virtual folders are also tags”. Elaborating it a bit, I’d say that Tabbles is a tool that allows you to put the same file into several “magic folders” without copying the file… you can then find your files into each of the magic folder, or ask the system to find for you all the files that are into those two magic folders. Technically: Tabbles is a file organizer that runs on relational database, it has a pretty neat interface and a several technical features which generate interest by themselves (it’s written in F# and the GUI is in WPF). One thing is sure: in a way or another it’s something you’ve not seen before.

Interview with young entrepreneur Justin Beck

Justin Beck works for a startup created by a group of ambitious college students from University of Wisconsin Madison called PerBlue, where and he is building some really interesting technologies and products while having too much fun doing it. PerBlue focus on building mobile software. Their first product is Parallel Kingdom a mobile role playing game for the iPhone and Google Android phone. They continued to progress into mobile people connecting technology and they were working on a smartphone application for connecting people called GeoBuzz, when they realized that connecting people was a very difficult task. After working on geobuzz for almost 9 months they decided to scrap the smart phone client and build Operator Sue which uses a text messaging interface. Its really simple to use, and it just works like you’d expect it to.

Cristian: I had a look at some articles about you, and I found out you have invented a lot of new technologies, gadgets and software. So do you consider yourself an inventor or an entrepreneur?

Justin: I would say probably on a day to day basis I consider myself more an entrepreneur more then an inventor. I never really bonded with the word “inventor” I think everyone is an inventor in their creative outlet. But true entrepreneurs those are rare. I don’t even know if I deserve that title yet.

Interview with young entrepreneur Artia Moghbel (22)

Artia is one of these entrepreneurs that started very young, found a problem they could resolve and turned it into a business. Age is really not a problem if you find an idea and you stick to it long enough to pay off. Here is what I found out:

Cristian: Hi Artia and welcome aboard. Tell us a few words about you.

Artia: I’m 22, and have been running SchoolRack for almost six years now. I started the company by myself when I was in high school as a side project, maintained it while I was in college, but now run it full time with a fantastic team of friends and co-workers.

Cristian: So you started your first business at around 16 -17.

Artia: I knew from a pretty young age that I wanted to start a business and the sooner I could get my hands dirty, the better. It all started when I realized how easy it was to build a website, and figured the Internet was the best place to start. I began experimenting with HTML, PHP, and MySQL and was finally inspired to build SchoolRack one day at school. It was my first major web project, and needless to say, it was very gratifying once I saw it all come together.
