  >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?

  There'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.)

  As 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 :)

  This 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!)

  Nope, no bubble here...

  Interesting piece. Can a kid with pretty much no experience actually add any real value to a VC though?

  It's awesome that kids are in Tech these days. The discrimination against minors in the past was unfair.
