7. Alex Godin

Claim To Fame: Cofounded Dispatch.io At 17

Alex admits that he has always been a geeky kid. No surprises when he co-founded Dispatch at the age of 17 and raised $1 million for it. Dispatch is a service that connects the different cloud document sharing services such as Google Docs, Dropbox etc.

He was also admitted to the Techstars which in itself is an achievement. Son of Seth Godin the marketing whiz, he intends to apply and begin college but not finish it!

He taught himself coding in just 7 days and along with some friends developed an app that was launched at New York Tech Meetup. He had also developed a DJ business when he was just 14!
