He's 19 and has rubbed shoulders with the most respected entrepreneurs in the world. He also happens to be a Ridgefield native and 2013 Wooster School grad.
Jack Kaufman, a junior at Haverford College in Pennsylvania, has another feather to put in his accomplished cap. Kaufman, who was published in Forbes.com 2 years ago when he was 17, was recently featured in popular marketing site, Inbound.org. The article showcasing the early careers of 22 marketers aged 22 and under is titled 22 Marketers Under 22: How They Got Started In Marketing.
Kaufman says, “I create products and market them. Specifically, in the past I've written a book about entrepreneurship called The Found a Business Book and marketed it. I also co-wrote a book with Adii Pienaar called The Entrepreneur's Guide to Finding Your First Customers and marketed that to great success as well."
Kaufman explains in the article that his first marketing project was his book, The Found a Business Book which he says was "the result of my interviews with 16 entrepreneurs, among them Square and Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey, GitHub CEO Tom Preston-Werner and DuckDuckGo founder Gabriel Weinberg."
Kaufman, who is presently working on a new book, is a marketing intern at the software company Wildbit in Philadelphia.
Congratulations Jack!
