How Old Were The Founders Of The World’s Biggest Brands When They Launched?
IKEA, Dell, Facebook, Microsoft; all brands we recognise and some of the world’s biggest companies. And they were all founded by teenagers…
A new study by Forward2Me has researched the 100 biggest brands in the world (according to Forbes) to reveal:
Which brands were founded by the youngest entrepreneurs
Industries which have founders with the youngest average age
