Rahim Fazal, co-founder of Involver, started his first business when he was in high school, and actually told his parents he was dealing drugs -- just so they wouldn't find out about his company and make him focus more on his schoolwork.
it's sad that our society is soo conditioned to corporate ladders... when in fact entrepreneurs are the bread and butter of our economy.

- ojbyrne 18y agoSo I looked further and on their about page it says he has an MBA from the top business school in Canada. Again I call bullshit, either on the story or on the MBA.
