Jack Abraham: Born Leader

Jack Abraham was born in 1986 to an artist mother and a tech entrepreneur father. His father, Magid, is the CEO and co-founder of publicly traded internet analytics company comScore.

At a very young age, Abraham had already showed flashes of brilliance. At 13, he worked during summers at his father’s company which was where he learned how to code and worked with people who were much older than he was. He would also surprise his father by giving suggestions to make work easier and much more efficient.

Abraham studied technological entrepreneurship at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. While he was there, he began creating Milo, an e-commerce website that allowed users to check out what products were in stock at local stores before they went out to buy them. After helping some of his friends pitch their startups to investors in California, Abraham decided to drop out of school – a semester short of graduating – to focus on Milo. By the end of 2010, Ebay bought Milo for $75 million.
