EnvoyEnvoy CEO Larry Gadea

Not a lot of people get to work at Google, much less before entering college.

But for Larry Gadea, founder of visitor-registration software Envoy, a job at Google just kind of came naturally right after high school, at the age of 18.

Gadea started programming when he was 8 years old. He loved computers and was already writing games by high school.
