COFOUNDERS, APPSTER AUSTRALIA
Unlike most boys, Humphrey and McDonald became
entrepreneurs by age 13. McDonald was running
an online marketing business, while Humphrey
had a successful online lead-generation business.
They first met in person at an “Unleash the Power
Within” conference hosted by U.S. motivational
guru Tony Robbins. They left the event inspired and
decided to partner up and go into business.
Though neither had any experience building
mobile apps, they started Appster with just $3,000
in 2011. Appster now develops mobile, Web and
wearable apps. Appster has become a $19 million
company with a staff of 350. The duo has never
taken any outside investment. —Jason LimEnterprise
