BusinessWeek: David Ulevitch most promising entrepreneur

by Allison Rhodes on Apr 18th, 2008

Congratulations are in order today to CEO David Ulevitch.

It comes as no surprise to us, and probably you too, that David was named one of BusinessWeek magazine’s “Most Promising Entrepreneurs Under the Age of 30.” (Yes, he’s only 26.) You can read the entire feature here, but the gist is this: The BusinessWeek editorial staff gets together once a year and selects a handful of high-tech entrepreneurs that are clear standouts among their peers. These are people that are expected to do great things over the course of their careers - this year eleven people were awarded the honor.

Given where David has taken OpenDNS thus far and all the significant “firsts” OpenDNS is responsible for, I know BusinessWeek made the right decision including him. :)

    David,

    You definitely deserve the title, OpenDNS is such a great service…

    Also, there was a typo on surprise… :)

    Kudos to David and the entire OpenDNS team!

    The OpenDNS is leagues ahead of those other *expensive* DNS providers and is making the Internet a safer place.

    Innovations like the squelching of DNS rebinding attacks just aren’t being addressed anywhere else. It really does show the imagination that is being put into making OpenDNS more than just a couple of open resolvers.

    Andrew.

    My congrats David. You and your team are really pros. Such a service and also free. What else to expect for free service??? I have introduced OpenDNS in our company (4 remote locations) and I am more than happy.
    Whenever I have, not an issue, but just technical question, your reply is prompt and professional.
    KEEP UP GOOD WORK.
