I set up a meeting and at Cafe Borrone some kid who looked 18 years old came up to me and introduced himself as Max. "How old are you? I asked. "18," he replied.

Max continued, "That’s why I’m really interested in ways of optimizing the entrepreneurship ecosystem to allow more entrepreneurs to go from idea to reality.
