“He bought cocacola.com &amp; sold it for $2million.

He and his team work mostly with start-ups that already have their product and now need to grow it in multiple countries around the world, often at the same time.Ryan (33) was born in California &amp; moved to China when he was 18. He started his first business when he was 12 years old, just as the internet was starting to become more widely adopted. He bought web domain names of neighborhood businesses and waited for them to sue, before counter-suing and settling on terms to sell the domains, all accompanied by his mother of course. He went on to teach himself to code and also to clone popular websites as he crafted his own path through entrepreneurship.Once in China, Ryan studied International Trade and Culture and then had short stints at other colleges around the world, before settling in Shanghai and working with The China Startup Pulse, then Chinaccelerator, and now MOX.Ryan says he has done all of this with the support of his family, most of whom also run their own businesses.
