Mike McCue is a successful technology entrepreneur. He is the founder or co-founder of Paper Software, Tellme Networks and Flipboard.
McCue grew up in Woodstock, New York. He was fascinated by software and began his first business in his early teens, writing video games at home that he licensed to magazines and in the end to a games publisher. He had wanted to be an astronaut and his first real app, he said, was a space shuttle flight simulator he wrote in TI-BASIC in 1981.
Admiring technology entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Mitch Kapor and Bill Gates, McCue joined IBM in 1986, giving up a congressional nomination to attend the US Air Force Academy. He was employed on a six-month temporary contract but ended up staying three-and-a-half years.
