Top 6 Dealmakers in Media under 30

No. 2: Pete Cashmore, 28


Founder of Mashable

Mashable started out as a simple blog written from Cashmore’s family home in Aberdeen, Scotland. However, Cashmore transformed his online venture into a global news operation that attracts more than 20 million new visitors each month. And the most impressive thing of all: by bootstrapping his company, Cashmore has retained almost full ownership of Mashable.
