Age, as we’re often told, is just a number. But when you’re starting a business, it’s an unfortunate reality that clients, suppliers, rivals and even staff will judge you on your age and industry experience.

While the likes of Mark Zuckerberg have managed to make age a non-issue when building world-class businesses, significant barriers do exist for fresh-faced entrepreneurs.

With this in mind, we quizzed each of our Future Makers – our list of the top Australian entrepreneurs aged under 25-years-old – on the challenges they’ve faced and for their tips for others following in their path.

We hope you enjoy this eBook and our inspirational Future Makers.
