This was an interesting peice I ran across today. It's silly to think that when most of use were 19 we were working a part time job and getting drunk and this kid is creating companies.
There is little doubt in my mind that he will obtain great wealth in the near future and it will be interesting to watch...with envy, lol.

That's pretty awesome. I always shudder a little when I see a bright young entrepreneur raising VC dollars this early on, though. Everyone is always in such a hurry to raise dough and they don't realize how much of their company they end up giving away until it's too late.
pretty sick...wish I had gotten such an early start.
...guess better late than never...
Two of my buddies at Wharton undergrad are also getting VC money for companies they founded, this is before any of us have even gotten to school. It is a very humbling experience to know that there are people out there that can run circles around me, keeps me grounded.
It's pretty typical to see undergrads getting VC money at engineering schools; cc YouTube. The issue is finding a job after the business goes bust- for every success story, there's about 5-10 failures.
I went to school withn and know Brian Wong and no doubt he is a true prodigy. Great article.
God dammit
how exactly is kiip gonna "bridge internet gaming and the real world"?
edmundo, I wholeheartedly agree about the giving too much of the company away part, thats why im trying to keep startup costs as LOW as possible, and finance with some family and friends.
p.s. hope this kid succeeds, that site can do nothing but help my future gaming internet startup ( 2 more years of undergrad and planning to go!)
