Eventually he developed an app called Trimit when he was only 15, which would condense lengthy articles into short summaries ranging from 1000 to 140 characters. A Hong Kong billionaire saw the potential and gave Nick $300,000 in venture capital to perfect the app. This re-working would go on to be called Summly, an app that Yahoo! paid $30 million for.

3. Fraser Doherty


Fraser laid the groundwork for his $1.2 million dollar SuperJam company by selling his Grandmother’s jam recipes at farmer’s markets and delis.

Word began to spread around Scotland and Fraser eventually struck a deal with the Waitrose supermarket chain to sell his jam through 184 of their stores. The exposure eventually grew into a 2,000 store market, and spanned to other countries as well.

Doherty has taken his business further and has also released a SuperJam cookbook.

When she was only 14, Ashley Qualls began teaching herself HTML and decided to launch a site called WhateverLife.com to showcase her design work for interested buyers. At the time, the site didn’t get much at all in the way of traffic.
The following year, Ashley began offering her services to classmates that wanted more personalized layouts for their MySpace and social networking pages. As traffic grew from word-of-mouth advertising, Ashley joined Google Adsense and took a cut of the advertising revenue. As traffic began to grow still, she started making deals directly for people to advertise their products on her site.
WhateverLife.com now sees about 7 million users pass through a month, and earns Ashley millions in ad dollars.
