Mike Michalowicz

Mike Michalowicz started his first business at the age of 24, moving his young family to the only safe place he could afford - a retirement village. With limited resources and no experience, he systematically bootstrapped a multi-million dollar technology business, sleeping in conference rooms to avoid hotel costs. After selling his first company, Mike launched a new business the very next day, and in less than three years, sold it to a Fortune 500. With his newest multi-million dollar venture, Obsidian Launch, he fosters startup businesses with his “get rich right” approach.

A graduate of Inc. & MIT’s “Birthing of Giants” Entrepreneurial Program, Mike has received multiple entrepreneurship awards, including the SBA's Young Entrepreneur of the Year. He is a recurring guest on CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, ABC News, and other television programs. He has been featured on National Public Radio (NPR), and in the New York Times, Smart CEO Magazine, and other publications.

Mike is a frequent guest lecturer for entrepreneurial groups and professional business groups throughout the world. Mike is also a reoccurring guest lecturer for entrepreneurial programs at Babson, Boston College, Columbia, Harvard, Penn State, Princeton and other colleges throughout the country.
