As a sophomore in high school, Jason Li, founded iReTron.com. Li cares deeply for the environment which overall inspired his creation. iReTron basically encourages or rewards people to “go green”. Electronics are found to be one of the fastest growing portions of trash; Li’s goal is to help lessen the amount of trash found on the earth. The solution Li found is reusing and recycling old electronics. iReTron.com helps an individual sell, upgrade, or recycle their used gadget in the most convenient and efficient way possible. Most people have electronics and gadgets siting at home in a drawer, you might as well make some money off of it or make the world a greener place. At the age of seventeen iReTron made an impact on Mark Cuban and Barbara Corcoran when Li took his business idea to a famous TV show known as, Shark Tank. iReTron earned a $100,000 investment.

Li was not satisfied with his highly successful iReTron business so he decided to found his second social enterprise, UProspie. UProspie is a web platform that helps increase the accessibility to higher education. This goes to show how motivated Li is and how hard he works.

I admire the fact that Li was risky enough to put his effort into two separate businesses. I have learned a lot from Li for example, one needs to be willing to risk the RIGHT amount, one needs to believe in their idea, and one needs to be creative when thinking up a business idea. Li changed the idea of getting rid of electronics and made it into something that can help improve the earth. Li is a terrific example of just how successful a young entrepreneur can be.
