Full Bio

Serial entrepreneur Cody McLain was already grooming himself as quite the business entrepreneur while still in middle school. He found his niche and started his first business, a web hosting company, and continued to grow and expand the company through high school.

His unique foresight led to his immense success. He saw opportunity in existing tech startups and built SupportNinja to provide world-class outsourced support and customer service to these companies. The company had the 86th fastest growing company according to the 2019 Inc. 5000 list, and was ranked the fastest growing outsourcing company in the US, employing over 1,000 employees with offices in Austin and the Philippines.

Cody was born in Oakland, California to parents struggling with addiction, who eventually lost custody. He wound up in foster care. After being returned to his parents, both died within a few years. Never missing a beat, he picked himself up and kept moving forward, creating his current multi-million dollar empire.

He was also born with Asperger's Syndrome, which made him the target for bullying at school. Cody's inability to understand social cues and the bad intentions of others was the reason he lost his first business.

He has written "From Foster Care to Millionaire," which he hopes will inspire others who were dealt a tough hand. He resides in Austin, Texas and in his free time enjoys flying, traveling, and photography.

Quotes

Being an entrepreneur cannot be defined by your successes until it has been built by your failures.
Our potential can far exceed your expectations.
You have to pretend like you know what you're doing before you know what you're doing.
It is always easier to edit what has been written than to write what has not been done.
Follow your dreams, your passions – your obsessions. Persistence will always turn failure into success.
