[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in tech.  I keep hearing about kids starting tech businesses.  I’ve never interacted with any company with people below 22 involved, and I’ve never heard of anyone buying any software from a company with high school kids involved.

A bright, precocious kid writing software would be a nightmare from a security and design perspective. [/quote]

Lots of ways to define a tech business. Mine does app development for companies (and has own subscription based apps) and also does extensive IT services and repairs. Can fix ANYTHING electronic, recover data, build new computers per specs, repair iphone screens or laptop screens that stop displaying, etc.  You'd be surprised at how many people want this stuff done. You might also be surprised at how much these kids know about software security and coding standards. My son won the championship at northrop cyber week long patriot event for reverse engineering vulnerabilities - and he had no formal training.  He's not writing enterprise software at this point but it's still a tech business.[/quote]
