Box CEO Aaron Levie

In a couple of weeks, Box will be celebrating its 11th anniversary. It launched as a corporation on April 8, 2005, with an $80,000 seed round. 

It's been a whirlwind decade for its charismatic founder CEO, Aaron Levie, in which he's been hailed as both a Valley wunderkind, and then as the master of a "house of horrors" and is now being vindicated once again.
