3. Arash Ferdowsi- Drop Box

Age: 26

This Iranian-American entrepreneur co-founded Dropbox, a cloud storage startup in 2007 with fellow MIT student Drew Houston. Ferdowsi dropped out of college to focus on business. His networth is said to be $400 million. In spite of growing competition, Houston and Ferdowsi’s project has been constantly growing -- 300 million files are saved to Dropbox every 24 hours, which is more than the number of tweets posted to Twitter in the same timeframe. Ferdowsi is an avid Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) player.

4. David Karp- Tumblr

Age: 25

Karp founded Tumblr, the microblogging platform and social networking site in 2007. 2010 saw him named as one of MIT’s 35 innovators under the age of 35. What is interesting about this young techie is the fact that when he was 17, he moved himself to Japan and earned his living while working as a CTO for a company based in New York! He’s worth $40 million in funding, and although it’s not a huge number compared to the rest, this energetic entrepreneur deserves his place on this list. And although he has a girlfriend (i.e. goal-keeper) named Rachel Eakley, doesn’t mean one can’t try scoring goals, right?
