The entrepreneurial spirit starts early for many teenagers, but for most things like high school, college and social lives overpower the urge to start a business. But not every teenager.
Wisebread takes a look at some incredibly successful young entrepreneurs, who all started their empires in their teens.
Kristopher Tate is a kind of programming wunderkind.
Tate started working with HTML at age 4, before most kids have started reading. He started the photo-sharing site Zooomr at age 17 as a competitor to Flickr.
Since then the company has grown into one of the top photo-sharing services on the Web. He has since moved the site’s headquarters to Japan, and is involved in creating Japan’s first society-based community site.
