Biography
Michael Sayman is an entrepreneur and programmer known for creating an iOS app development company at age 13 after teaching himself Objective-C online. Since then, Michael has gone on to create dozens of apps that have been downloaded over 2.5 million times worldwide. He has been featured on CNN, ABC News, Univision, Telemundo, CNN en Español, Reuters, and Sky News, has spoken and given conferences to thousands of college students at various universities across the country, and many other conferences for entrepreneurs of large corporations internationally.
Michael has reached the top 200 most downloaded apps in the entire App Store, as well as the #1 Word Game in the entire App Store, above million-dollar apps such as Angry Birds. Michael’s apps have gotten the attention of many large companies including Zynga, Coca-Cola, and Facebook. Additionally, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, also requested to meet him at the Facebook HQ. He also met with their university recruiting team (while still in high school) to talk about potential partnerships and employment opportunities. Although he programs the apps, Michael sees himself as more of an entrepreneur than a computer scientist. Michael demonstrates to audiences that anyone can make a complex app, but knowing the strategies for reaching the top each and every time is totally different. It may seem like pure luck, but it's not. It's all about analyzing the target audience and picturing the app in their hands.
