Siamak Taghaddos and David Hauser are famous for being Founders of GotVMail Communications. Today they are just 23 and 24 years old, respectively, and provide phone-system services to small businesses to make them look and sound professional. Up to this date, the company has an annual turnover of over $5 million.
GotVMail Communications was founded in 2003 in Boston, Massachusetts. It was the fourth start up venture of the duo. The idea of the company is to provide services to small businesses to help them project a more professional image. The partners saw that there was a large scope for improvement in the branch and decided to follow their dream of owning a million dollar business and to do it. Today for as little as $10 a month, small businesses can get professional services from GotVMail, which guarantee you a wide range from services - from voice-mail boxes, routing of calls to a cell phone number, and receiving messages in MP3 format through email.
David Hauser and Siamak Taghaddos started the company by borrowing money from friends and saw their first profits within only 2 months. Today the company has an annual revenue of $5 million. Siamak says that having good personal credit is very essential for an entrepreneur. He also says that they would never have gotten help from the Bank of America or American Express without a good credit score. At a time when guys their age are normally partying all night long, the two youngsters spent night and day planning their business and working on it to bring it to its current level of success.
Both partners graduated from Babson College, which is especially famous for the successful entrepreneurs it has created. That’s where both of them met during their undergrad years. But even before that, when they were in high school, both had independently started their own companies. By putting their earlier experience in use, they managed to make big money. In the beginning of their business venture they didn’t sleep much, but actually they don’t now either. David Hauser and Siamak Taghaddos are keen on developing their business and taking it to the next level.
In one of David's interviews he says, "
To be involved in the entrepreneurial community and give back, talking to students is very important". Since they are both so young and their student years are still fresh in their mind, they still relate well to the student community. Their tasks however are set high and today they are not the typical representatives of their age. They are one of the youngest millionaires.
