Toronto entrepreneur Haroon Mirza is a self-made millionaire at the age of just 29.

Mirza and his two partners, who sold their software company to Intel last year, credit hard work and timely advice for their success.

In 2010, Intel approached them with an acquisition offer. Mirza won’t disclose how much Intel paid for CognoVision, but industry analysts have estimated anywhere from $17 million to $25 million.
