When I came across the heading of a post titled "13 year-old CEO steals the show at TiECON", I had to read it. Apparently there is a 13 year old CEO that is planning on revolutionizing they way children learn chemistry. The post reports that he stole the show at TiECON, a big entrepreneur conference in Santa Clara, CA. The boy's 11 year old sister is the companies VP of sales. Their goal is to get $100,000 to boost their production and distribution.
At first, before I read this article I thought there was no way that a 13 year-old was really running a company. But after reading the aritcle it seems this kid is the truth. The essence of their vision is a fantasy role play board game. Says founder Anshul Samar "we inject fun into education". While still trying to round up funding, he has already booked 450 pre-orders as of saturday. The young man is already planning an online version of the game once his funding and production get into place.
This story is a great example of the current change in technological entrepreneurship. Ten years ago it would have been unheard of for a child to make the entrepreneurial efforts that Anshul has made. This is just another step in the continuing trend toward younger and younger children becoming technological experts and making strides to change the face of Silicon Valley CEO's. His Executive team is entirely comprised of his peers.
