About Under30CEO:

Leading Gen Y to stop doing s**t they hate. Why do we have to listen to the status quo? Sit in a cubicle? Do the morning commute?

We are Gen Y, we do stuff different. We do it our way. Screw your boss, start doing something your passionate about. Turn what you love into cash and make a difference in the world.

Do what you want, when you want, how you want. Live your life the way it was meant to be lived–not how corporate america wants us to live. Change the way you live, change the way America thinks. Join the tribe.

Jared O’Toole, a graduate of Ithaca College realized corporate finance was not for him sometime right around the interview process. Instead of continuing his job hunt he decided to hunt down his own entrepreneurial ambitions. Jared has since immersed himself fully in the social media world, focused on a way to get young people passionate about what they “do”.

Jared is also well known around the Ithaca community for his late night dance parties to artists such as Ace of Base, Journey and the Backstreet Boys. Enjoy these hits and more on the Under30CEO Youtube favorites.

Matt Wilson graduated Bryant University with a clear goal of starting his own business. While in school, Matt led Bryant University to becoming the Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization of the year and became National Student Leader of the Year. After moving home he realized there was a lack of smart, innovative, and ambitious people to communicate with. This is where he began to realize the need to bring all these people together who also decided the corporate happy hour wasn’t going to be good enough.

If Matt is around he will be easy to spot as his long luxurious hair is generally flowing freely in the breeze.
