Ryan Peterson leaked the iPhone 3G before Apple announced it, angering Steve Jobs but making his startup Import Genius visible. He later founded Flexport to fix shipping logistics, growing it to an $8 billion valuation in under a decade.
In a controversial move, he posted his discovery on the Import Genius website. Turns out, he leaked the launch of the new iPhone 3G before Steve Jobs could announce it, making Jobs furious. The stunt put Import Genius on the map, and the company went on to generate tens of millions in revenue in the next few years. By 2013, Ryan moved on to his most lucrative project yet. With a vision to do for freight shipping what FedEx did for parcel delivery, Ryan launched Flexport. Just 3 years later, Flexport had 700 corporate clients and a valuation of $300 million. Today, the company is valued at over $8 billion. Did you know that Ryan Peterson recently made a clone of himself?
