Ben Cathers young entrepreneur

Welcome to my website. I am a young entrepreneur and the author of Conversations with Teen Entrepreneurs. When I was 12 years old I built and sold an online advertising company back when internet advertising wasn't considered "cool" or mainstream (pre 2000). I hosted and owned a syndicated radio show when I was 17 years old. At 19 I started a search engine technology company and filed for my first patent. In 2005 CNN and Lou Dobbs named me as a Member of America's Bright Future. Click here to view other magazines and television shows I have been featured in.

Today I'm 25 years old and a proud graduate of Boston University's School of Management. Take a look around my website to see the current projects I am involved with. Feel free to contact me regarding any of these projects
