Andrew Wilkinson has been touted as the Warren Buffett of tech. He grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, started his first successful business while in high school, dropped out of college after only a single semester, and made his first billion dollars by age 35.

Wilkinson now runs Tiny, a long-term holding company for Internet businesses. Under Tiny’s umbrella, Wilkinson oversees more than 40 companies, cumulatively employing over 1,000 people and generates hundreds of millions of dollars in yearly revenue. He has acquired, started, or invested in over 70 companies. Along the way, he’s gathered a treasure trove of business and life lessons that he’s now eager to share with others. He lives in Victoria, Canada.
