They don&apos;t explain how these young geniuses got capitol to build their ideas or how they were able to market them to people with influence or how they are able to convince influencers like Marissa Meyer to fork over $30 million.&lt;p&gt;Not hating on the kid, but without proper explanation of those three aforementioned things, there&apos;s no real story here.</text><parent_chain><item><author>dinkumthinkum</author><text>I hear what you&apos;re saying but I think what you&apos;re describing is not the most notable part of the story, in fact, possibly the least interesting part of it.
