TechCrunch picks Whiz Kid Mark Bao as entrepreneur to watch

Mark Bao

TechCrunch has named 10 entrepreneurs to watch, and among them is Mark Bao, the 17-year-old entrepreneur MHT talked to in May.

In August, Bao sold his first startup, Avecora, and launched a new company called AtomPlan, which makes a business contact management application. He has also co-founded Ramamia, a photo-sharing service for families.

Bao told MHT about his goals in May: A personal net worth of more than $5 billion, to help people who can’t help him, to enjoy life without boundaries and to change the world. For more proof he’s not messing around, check out his enjoyably profane Twitter stream. From the Startup Bootcamp @ MIT:
