===Early Ventures===

Johnson, who has been described as a “serial tech entrepreneur,” <ref name=Founder /> launched three startups, whilst at university, between 1999 and 2003. The first, which sold cell phones, helped pay his way through [[Brigham Young University]]. In that business, Johnson hired other college students to sell service plans along with cell phones; Johnson earned about a $300 commission on each sale.<ref name=Ferriss>{{cite podcast|url=http://traffic.libsyn.com/timferriss/TFS_Bryan_Johnson_Edited_Final.mp3|title=The Rags to Riches Philosopher: Bryan Johnson's Path to $800 Million|website=fourhourworkweek.com|host=Tim Ferriss|date=June 12, 2015|accessdate=October 6, 2015}}</ref>

Johnson also started two other businesses. Inquist, a [[VOIP]] company Johnson co-founded with three other partners, combined features of [[Vonage]] and [[Skype]]. It ended operations in 2001. Johnson has attributed the failure to an inability to secure funding following [[9/11]] as well as errors made by him and his co-founders.<ref name=Where />

After that, Johnson joined his brother and another partner on a $70 million real estate project later in 2001. The project did not achieve sales goals and required additional capital. Johnson and his two co-founders moved on.<ref name=Where />
