Aaron Levie
Levie was but a tender 20 when he and his friend Dylan Smith started Box.net in their dorm room. Today, it’s a business cloud-computing setup based in Palo Alto that serves about 3 million users. “Cloud-based services are about to tip, and quickly,” he wrote recently for TechCrunch. “Over the next two years, enterprise IT will follow in the footsteps of today’s early adopters and visionaries, finally embracing the Cloud and moving content, applications and processes to the web.” Levie saw cloud computing coming when the cloud was just a floating water droplet, so it’ll be fun to watch his tornado-chasing enterprises in the future.
