Stony Brook alumnus Jonathan Gottfried ’11 was recently named to the 2017 Forbes “30 Under 30” list in education for his work as a cofounder of Major League Hacking (MLH).

According to Forbes, the organization has secured $1 million in funding to date.
Every year, Forbes honors “600 of the brightest young entrepreneurs, innovators and game changers” — 30 honorees per industry category.
