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 23 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

CURRENT PROJECTS:

A2Connect LLC
I am team member #2 of an exciting young internet startup that is poised to change the way cell phones are marketed.
A2Connect works with affinity groups (large clubs and organizations) to establish mobile solutions; A2connect allows groups to "go mobile" and sell a variety of wireless products as a member benefit, as well as being able to communicate via wireless technology to their members. A2Connect is doing to cell phones what affinity groups did to credit cards in the 80's.

Jamie Gold

TexasHoldem.com
I am currently leading the efforts in helping texasholdem.com become the premiere player in the mobile poker news industry.

I sit on the board of a Boston Based startup digital music company. Galaxy Smith is a 100% online only music label targeting genres often ignored by the major labels. Currently, Galaxy Smith has 6 different bands under contract.
