Car Throttle
Ebrahim may still be 25-years-old and living in his parents' house in the suburbs, but after three rounds of funding from big name investors, including high-profile VC Eileen Burbidge from Passion Capital, he's the majority shareholder in a "profitable" business worth "well into the single digit millions," that is "shooting for eight figures next year."
He works 16-hour-shifts, but has still found time to party with Formula 1's Lewis Hamilton and skater Tony Hawk. UK Prime Minister David Cameron even invited him to 10 Downing Street where he hung out with Alibaba founder and CEO Jack Ma.
Ebrahim's social journalism model, which gets 99% of its content from users and only 1% from its internal editorial team, is perhaps prophetic of the future of many more media companies in the digital age. And he's looking to expand his business by creating more communities, focused around different areas of interest that bring people together.
He's got plenty to say about the future of media and his high own high-speed lifestyle, so Business Insider decided to interview Ebrahim from inside a supercar, as the young CEO did his best to tear through London, barely hiding his frustration at the grid-locked streets.
