Ben Pasternak, 16-year-old techie was the founder of Flogg – his third app – an app that combines the features of Tinder and eBay to help teens sell their unwanted things.
The young techie lives on his own, in a studio apartment in Manhattan, barely old enough to drive, he was a high school dropout from Sydney, Australia.
With the ease of a couple of uploaded photos, the app – which launched on Thursday – makes buying and selling items within one’s social network as simple as swiping left or right.
Ben first got on Silicon Valley’s radar after he designed a game that was downloaded more than 1.3 million times when he was only 15. Ben now says that some of his current difficulties in life include remembering to pay his bills and wash his dishes and clothes.
