At the age of 15, Zain Jaffer decided to become an entrepreneur, hosting fan sites for teens. As a high school kid in West London, building sites not only kept young Zain off the streets in a rough area, but helped prepare him for a college and now, a graduate school school career.

Zain is currently working on his Masters degree in  Technology Entrepreneurship, from  University College London, where he also takes specific classes at London Business School.  Zane’s courses are academic and practical, where he gets to learn from world class professors as well as  investors, entrepreneurs, angels, and VCs.

While attending school, Zain also serves as Commercial Director for Mediaroots, a leading video training company that creates courseware for Adobe, Autodesk, Apple, Microsoft, QuarkXPress and Smith Micro.

Even at the age of 15, Zain was using dedicated hosting and continues that approach six years later.  Zain’s personal story is an inspiration to young entrepreneurs worldwide.
