. Ben Pasternak – Founder of Flogg and Monkey Ben Pasternak is a prime example of how young entrepreneurs can shape industries and redefine the future. Starting his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 15, Ben created an app called Flogg, which was essentially an Instagram for buying and selling items. The app quickly gained traction, leading to its acquisition by a larger company. But Ben didn’t stop there—he went on to co-found Monkey, a video chat app that allowed users to connect randomly with others based on shared interests. Monkey became incredibly popular, especially among teenagers, and was later acquired by a major social media company. What makes Ben’s journey so inspiring to me is his determination to innovate and disrupt traditional industries at a young age. His ability to pivot, create products that resonate with users, and leverage the power of social media for business success shows that age is no barrier to entrepreneurship. Today, Ben continues to explore new ideas and opportunities in tech and social media, aiming to build products that enhance human connection. Being so young doing this has allowed him to discover so much about the business world and gave him much experience. he now will understand the rest of his life how businesses are ran and what it takes to be successful. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=40da0999742ab38bd9ac564d3300040b5628e57e56c47ae817a95a62b451aa2bJmltdHM9MTczMzYxNjAwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=310dfa9e-732a-625c-09ab-ee7972fe63bc&psq=ben+pasternak&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZm9yYmVzLmNvbS9wcm9maWxlL2Jlbi1wYXN0ZXJuYWsv&ntb=1
