This morning the MIT Technology Review revealed its prestigious annual list of “35 Innovators Under 35.” This year, that group included Dwolla founder and CEO Ben Milne. 

Milne, who was honored as an outstanding entrepreneur, will be featured online and in print. The Des Moines-based startup’s founder also will appear on the cover of the magazine’s September/October issue.

“While Dwolla’s payment engine represents nearly 60 years of technological advancement in payments, it’s how we consciously designed the system to navigate, collaborate and create new opportunities within the existing U.S. financial system and its current stakeholders,” Milne said in a press release.
