[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*big eye roll*  I don't deny that these kids are smart and entrepreneurial, but the marketing hype is just cringy. [/quote]
You sound ignorant, and cringy with big eye roll.

Dell, facebook, wordpress, mashable, oculus, and a ton more were all started by teenagers.  [/quote]

None of those required fabricating novel computer chips. [/quote]

I was the one rolling my eyes.  It is something else they are fabricating...

I get it, I was doing optical computing in 1990's back in grad school.  Our grant application to DARPA all sound like these.  No way a couple of TJ students can do this without some adult direction, and the adult is writing a great grant application, this time to VC and whatnot. [/quote]

STEM students teams are always guided by a coach/mentor, in this case it is possible one of more of their parents played that role.  The proposal writer that you played can be hired for an hourly wage, even off of craigslist.  When VC is evaluating a proposal or business idea, they care the least about who the proposal writer is, even it is the parent or another adult hired for hourly wage.  They evaluate the viability of the idea and its design implementation, and in this case that is what came from the student team.  You are crazy if you think VC fund that's backing this venture is doing it without evaluating the smarts of the students behind this company.  [/quote]
