One of the most successful millennial entrepreneurs is Dustin Moskovitz. Though Dustin is only 33 years old, his net worth has already surpassed $13 billion. Dustin is most notably known as the co-founder of Facebook, alongside Mark Zuckerberg. Moskovitz and Zuckerberg met at Harvard, where Moskovitz was studying computer engineering. The two collaborated to form arguably the most innovative social media platform of our time, Facebook. Dustin worked as the lead programmer on the Facebook developmental team. After 2008, Dustin left Facebook to pursue other ventures. In 2011, he founded Asana. Asana is one of the leading management applications in the professional industry today. Asana has the ability to create, integrate, and coordinate projects and tasks. It also has the capacity to track the progress of these tasks and facilitate collaboration and communication between team members using various devices.

After founding Asana, Dustin decided to turn his attention to philanthropy. Alongside his wife, Cari, the two founded the non-profit organization, Good Ventures. Good Ventures is an organization that focuses on the betterment of humanity and the advancement of society. Good Ventures has made significant donations to promote economic growth and health initiatives in third world countries. In 2012, Good Ventures teamed up with a fellow non-profit organization, called GiveWell, to form the Open Philanthropy Project. This project focuses on distributing large donations where they are needed the most. Essentially the goal is to optimize the donations to gain the greatest humanitarian benefit. In aggregate, this organization has distributed over $140 million dollars in grants and funds to charitable organizations. Additionally, Dustin and Cari Moskovitz have also been recognized as the youngest couple to sign the giving pledges established by the billionaires, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates.

In essence, Dustin’s innovation and genuine kindness are truly motivating. It’s also rather remarkable that Dustin was able to develop and contribute to two major technological applications before the age of 30. Perhaps, Dustin’s innovative spirit and creativity are only surpassed by his generosity and humanitarian contributions.
