Taylor is also recognized as one of America’s top young entrepreneurs. He grasped the concept of entrepreneurship at a very young age, starting his first successful company at the age of 12, developing 3D video games. In 1999 he and a classmate started their own dotcom with $500 of savings, a job search engine for teenagers called the 4Teens Network. Then, in 2000, 16-year old Ephren won Microsoft’s Teen TechFest Challenge.
With solid business training from the Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, Mr. Taylor raised over $250,000 in angel financing. This allowed the company the company to grow into the highly-successful GoFerretGo.com, a multi-million dollar business. Mr. Taylor eventually sold GoFerretGo.com, paving the way for establishing Amoro Developments, a holding company with assets in real estate.
AmoroCorp developed from another company he founded in 1999 that handled the investments of others: COC Ventures. The concepts he developed for COC Ventures are what earned him the coveted Kansas Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2002.
In February Amoro Management was chosen by entertainment legend Snoop Dogg to create and manage the endowment fund for his Snoop Youth Football League.
