When we use the word ‘entrepreneurs’, certain people come to mind in the blink of an eye. Steve Jobs, Tim Cook, Jack Ma, and Elon Musk are just a few of them. However, there are a lot more people who have been equally as successful as these elite names. The only difference is that you might not have heard their names before.
The Top Entrepreneurs You Need to Look Up to in 2019
This article is here to enlighten you about the entrepreneurs of the world — the future leaders, if I do say so myself. We have compiled a list of seven of the top entrepreneurs in the world that you need to keep your eye on in 2019.
1. Yunha Kim (Founder of Simple Habit)
Let’s start the list with a woman. Yunha Kim founded Simple Habit, which is one of the best wellness apps. It has been positively regarded far and wide in 2017. It has both a free and a premium version.
As a woman entrepreneur in a world mostly dominated by men, Yunha has undoubtedly made her mark. She wishes to expand her application to more countries to make it one of the world’s more premier wellness brands. She is definitely one of the best entrepreneurs to keep an eye on in 2019.
2. Tim Bohen (Head Trader of StocksToTrade)
If you want to make your mark on the world of trading and stocks, then Tim Bohen is one entrepreneur you should definitely be following this year.
As the head trader of StocksToTrade, he makes full and optimal utilization of the digital interface and does many webinars for aspiring traders. He has made StocksToTrade one of the go-to platforms for learning the tricks of the trade.
3. Adam Spector (Co-founder of LiftIgniter)
Adam is a passionate, innovative, and empowering human being. These are essential qualities for a dynamic leader. He has understood the importance and value of customized learning, and along with his business partner, has founded LiftIgniter, which is a personalized platform for learning API on your mobiles and desktops.
4. Raheela Al Karim (Founder and CEO of Plush Event Planning)
For someone who is an immigrant woman, trying to start a business in the USA is quite the challenge, but Raheela Al Karim did that and much more. She runs Plush Multimedia, which offers communication solutions to small businesses with the help of branding options, logo designing, web apps and more.
Plush Event Management, another branch of her company, is mostly meant for event planning, largely for weddings and corporate functions.
Finally, she also runs the Al Karim Foundation, which is a social welfare project, as per her father’s wishes.
5. Andrew Paradise (Co-founder and CEO of Skillz)
Understanding future trends is what differentiates an entrepreneur from a businessman. And Andrew Paradise has tons of foresight. Because of his love for video games, he developed a platform in 2012 where developers could actually earn money from their games with the help of competitions. Skillz is now one of the best platforms in the industry, and it remains to be seen what newer technology Adam and his team could develop this year.
6. Jason Clement (Managing Partner and CEO of Sports Facilities Advisory and Sports Facilities Management)
Jason Clement has dedicated his business to building a healthier and fitter future. He saw the potential in amateur sports and developed his company to create the best quality infrastructure and other things necessary to build a successful sporting ecosystem. His company has made investments of over 8 billion dollars, and it remains to be seen how he grows his company more and more.
7. Monica Wooden (Co-founder and CEO of MercuryGate)
Another woman to look out for this coming year is Monica Wooden. She founded MercuryGate, which is one of the most revolutionizing companies in the field of transportation management solutions.
She foresaw the opportunity to reduce the cost of transportation in the supply chain. This can be done very quickly through the efficient utilization of available resources; the company started supplying transportation services at a highly reduced cost. It caused a massive stir in the field of transportation of goods and made MercuryGate one of the most premium of all logistics brands for B2B businesses. Monica is one of the entrepreneurs you want to keep your eyes glued to in the new year.
8. Cary Silverman (CEO of Waldo General, Inc)
Cary Silverman is an entrepreneur who has sold multiple companies during his 20 years of business in the financial industry. Although, for him, it isn’t all about the money. His success is rooted in his passion to focus on doing something better today than it was done yesterday. These days, he’s the CEO of Waldo General, Inc. that oversees the operation of King of Kash.
Now that you have a comprehensive list of some of the best, yet, lesser known entrepreneurs of the world, keep a lookout for their achievements in the next year to get inspiration from, because we all know that the best (from them) is yet to come.
