The Kid VC
- gailees 13y agoInteresting piece. Can a kid with pretty much no experience actually add any real value to a VC though?
- danielfriedman 13y agoAlex is the real deal! Never have I talked with someone and been so inspired! He has influence to source deals and has heard thousands of stories from entrepreneurs. I trust his expertise.
- gailees 13y agoI don't know. I still feel like a VC is taking a big risk on a hot-shot young hustler like this.
- rjvir 13y agoIt's awesome that kids are in Tech these days. The discrimination against minors in the past was unfair.
- gailees 13y agodiscrimination? hasn't tech always been dominated by young people on the bleeding edge?
- BallinBige 13y agoyep. thats pretty true
- gruseom 13y agoWould you guys please stop astroturfing?
- jere 13y ago>As he moves across town, he says, "I really only want to meet with entrepreneurs under 25. I mean, if you're 30, what are you doing at South by?" Oh, that's nice. Is this Logan's Run or something?
- jmduke 13y agoThere's a beautiful irony in a 20-year old so quickly dismissing any entrepreneurs above the age of 30 while also discussing fake IDs. (This guy sounds amazing. I just wonder where he's going to end up in ten years.)
- j7132 13y agoThis is why America is making such huge strides in entrepreneurial ventures - because there are finally the old guys with all the money who aren't too proud to admit that there are people half their age with twice the talent. Going to a travel entrepreneur meet up yesterday in Paris really opened my eyes up to this cultural difference. (The French are too damn proud of their hierarchy!)
- rayiner 13y agoIsn't the story of VC over the last decade the mediocre return from the industry?
- shihjayang 13y agonice!
- obstacle1 13y agoNope, no bubble here...
- desmodon 13y agoAs a developer who has helped create some of the largest websites and projects and who is finally getting an opportunity to work on my own projects in his 30s. I would gladly push this kid off a cliff :)
