Steven Schwartz opened and closed several businesses before finally finding success with tech marketplace Whop. Here’s what he learned in the process.

The company became Broadcast.com, which Yahoo acquired four years later for $5.7 billion in stock.During high school, he and Zoub built sneaker bots, or pieces of software that nabbed limited-edition shoes faster than people who manually clicked"buy now.

Whop did both, Schwartz says. It solved a safety problem: Zoub patrolled online forums where people sold software, and found them rife with scammers and rip-off artists.
