The Internet has always been an inspiration for me as it gives you enough information about most aspiring technology entrepreneurs who have changed the world with the help of their visionary thought and leadership. They craft ideas with a spark which cannot be seen by a layman until they get successful.
The idea is often ridiculed, but strong determination helps them prove the effectiveness and practicality of what they have planned and conceived. I am going to share some of the top 3 influential tech entrepreneurs that are on my favorite list.

Max Levchin
Max Levchin is one of the co-creators of the famous fin-tech company – PayPal. He was given the position of CTO and was held responsible for the anti-fraud assignments. After PayPal, he has coined different ideas and pursued them successfully. One of the worth mentioning projects is Slide which was launched as a simple photo sharing application for social websites but later evolved into the biggest app development project for the most prominent social network Facebook.
Another venture by Max is the Yelp that becomes world famous. The core idea of Yelp was quite distinct at that time as it allows businesses to create profiles and allow their valued customers to rank and review their products and services on a platform where they cannot alter it, which give a trustworthy platform for the end consumers.
