Drew Houston was named among the very most promising players aged 30 and below by Business Week and Dropbox continues to be touted as Y Combinator’s most successful investment to date. Drew was also identified one of the top 30 under-30 entrepreneurs by inc.com, and Dropbox continues to be called among the 20 greatest startups of Silicon Valley. In June 2013, MIT encouraged Houston to serve as speaker at its annual commencement ceremonies. Think about that for a minute: who’d be in your circle of 5? I ‘ve the right news: MIT is among the greatest places on earth to start out assembling that circle. Something I Have learned is surrounding yourself with inspiring individuals has become just as significant as being gifted or working hard. Can you imagine if Michael Jordan had not been in the NBA, if his group of 5 had been a group of men in Italy? Your circle shoves one to be better, just as Adam shoved me.”
