Entrepreneur: How To Launch A Web-based Venture

Not only is the site of interest to other entrepreneurs, the story of how Matt Wilson founded it may also serve as inspiration. Warning: ditch digging was involved!


Name: Matt Wilson, 24

Founded: Under30CEO.com, 2008

Business: Website offering young entrepreneurs the tools and resources to succeed.

Location: New York City

As an ambitious young hopeful, Matt Wilson started to act on his entrepreneurial aspirations while many were still figuring out what to major in at college. As a business management student at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I., Wilson founded the Collegiate Entrepreneur’s Organization, a network of fellow college students who shared his disdain for working for a monolithic, corporate company. Growing to about 150 students, the group hosted networking events, workshops, an elevator pitch competition and a CEO speaker’s series with keynotes from powerhouses like media mogul Ted Turner and JetBlue founder David Neeleman. (Bryant University has since made the pitching competition a requirement for all freshmen entering the program.)”
