John Vagueiro started his company, Adapting Social, when he was just 17 years old, entirely self-funded and based out of his parents’ basement with the sole goal of paying his parents’ mortgage. In the past decade, he has since grown Adapting Social to what it is today–a full-service design and marketing agency that has the honor of working with clients in more than 20 countries. Aside from Adapting Social, John also owns equity in several other companies in various fields including technology and education.
