Szaky was a 19-year old freshman student at Princeton University when he established TerraCycle. Lest you start thinking that this is another college-dropout-done-well story, think again. Keep in mind that starting a business and sustaining it to become a multi-million dollar company requires outstanding business savvy coupled with hard work, clear vision, and incredible courage - and Szaky certainly has it all.
Of course, Szaky has guided TerraCycle to become more competitive in its industry. From its humble beginnings as a company selling organic fertilizer made from worm feces, TerraCycle is on its way up with recognitions like one of the top 1000 in Inc Magazine's fastest-growing privately-owned companies, an honor it has held for three consecutive years.
Not bad for a college dropout, indeed!
