Michael Seibel
More than 20 million iPhone and Android users might not know Michael Seibel’s name, but they definitely know his app, Socialcam.
Siebel, who was a tech leader selected for Black Enterprise’s “40 Next† list, continues to serve as general manager after the app was sold last August for $60 million.
Before his success with Socialcam, Seibel co-founded Justin.tv (currently Twitch.tv) a 23 million user-strong community for gamers to interact through video.
As a part-time partner at Silicon Valley’s Y-Combinator, a start-up accelerator, Seibel uses his experience to help other entrepreneurs achieve success.
