Entrepreneurs under 25

If you had to imagine the average age of successful entrepreneurs, then what would you guess?

How impressive is it to start a successful company before you reach the age of 30? Statistics show that a successful startup founder is, on an average, 45-years-old.

This fact makes entrepreneurs under 25 even more impressive! Read on to get more information on the top six Millennial entrepreneurs of 2019.

1. Akshay Ruparelia (19)

Any self-made millionaire who is only 19-years-old deserves the top spot on this list.

Few young entrepreneurs stories contain a humble beginning, but Akshay's story does. Both his parents were deaf, so Akshay spent most of his childhood caring for his parents.

While helping the family move, he realized commission rates for agents were outrageous! He became passionate about changing this.

That's when he sparked the idea to create a website, Doorsteps.co.uk, to flip houses. He sold his first home amid his yearly academic exams!

2. Farrhad Acidwalla (23)

Acidwalla already has one of the best successful entrepreneurs stories in India. This youngster borrowed money from his dad to build up an online community. He was only 13-years-old.

By the age of 16, he was buying internet domains. A year later, he sold his business idea for about Rs. 25,000. Then, he used that money to start Rockstah Media, a Web Developing Media Firm.

3. Alexander Harmsen (25)

Alexander Harmsen has always had a passion for flight. He obtained his pilot's license before he got his driver's license!

Now, he's founded Iris Automation, a company dedicated to creating self-flying drones. This young star's innovation got awarded with a Forbes List mention on their top 30 under 30 list. He appeared in the Manufacturing and Industry list for 2019.

4. Ed Hollands (23)

Ed Hollands was driving his girlfriend to work one day when he realized how much exposure cars get. From teen driving school cars to big truckers, motorists are aware of other cars on the road. Why?

It's their flashy signs. This led him to the idea of advertising on vehicles. That simple idea led him to the creation of DrivenMedia.

5. Advait Thakur (15)

When you think of young CEOs, you likely aren't thinking of a 15-year-old. Thakur is the youngest entrepreneur in the world!

This internet prodigy launched his first website at only nine-years-old. Now, he's both the founder and chief CEO of Apex Infosys India. He developed an Autism Awareness App for Google.

Next, he hopes to tackle some of India's most challenging problems using Internet of Things (IoT).

6. Sreelakshmi Suresh (20)

This young web designer began using computers at the age of three. She started designing websites at the age of six and developed a company at ten.

eDesign, her web designing company, is now one of over 100 sites she's developed. Her young startup company has led to dozens of international awards.
