Mike Michalowicz started his first business at the age of 24, moving his young family to the only safe place he could afford - a retirement village. With limited resources and no experience, he systematically grew a multimillion-dollar technology business, sleeping in conference rooms to avoid hotel costs.
After selling his first company, Michalowicz launched a new business the very next day, and in less than three years, sold it to a Fortune 500. With his newest venture, Obsidian Launch, he fosters startup businesses with his 'get rich right' approach.
A graduate of Inc. and MIT's Birthing of Giants Entrepreneurial Program, Michalowicz received Young Entrepreneur of the Year awards multiple times. He is a recurring guest on CNBC's The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, ABC News, and other television programs; has been featured on multiple radio stations including National Public Radio (NPR) and in The New York Times, SmartCEO Magazine, and other publications.
Michalowicz is a guest lecturer for entrepreneurial groups at Babson, Boston College, Columbia, Harvard, Penn State, Temple, University of The West Indies and other colleges throughout the country and world.
