The Most Influential Tech Entrepreneurs

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.

List of the Most Influential Tech Entrepreneurs

Elon Musk

An entrepreneur is known for inventing the first ever sports car that is fully electric vehicle i.e. the Tesla Motors. He is also praised to founding the most reliable payment gateway for secure online transactions, i.e. PayPal. The most striking attribute of his personality is coming up with an innovative idea and executing it to success.

Today, he is the CEO of Tesla Motors, co-founder of PayPal, CTO, and CEO of SpaceX. Along with money making ideas, he is also focusing on eco-friendly ideas such as the SolarCity – a company dedicated to solar energy – and Hyperloop which is a concept of bringing up fast speed commute system.

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.

Final words

Chasing your dreams and getting successful in our ambition requires an endless and unwavering passion. You may face sleepless nights, extreme financial crises, or might be disowned by friends and family, but reward and end result worth the effort.

You take a sigh of relief and an indefinable peace of mind that can never be achieved in doing a full day job. I like the above-discussed tech entrepreneurs for their undefeated passion and dedication towards their goals. You must define your goals before it is too late.
