Salesforce founder Marc Benioff's LinkedIn profile has just three entries.
He was an Apple intern, senior vice president at Oracle, and CEO of Salesforce.
But he actually started when he was just a kid, fixing CB radios from Radio Shack.
That's when he experienced his one and only failed startup--at age 13.
Benioff said, "It didn't scale. My grandmother said I had the wrong pricing model!"
