Yahoo Buys an App Founded By A 15-Year-Old For $30 Mil!

Here at BBS, Inc., we absolutely love to hear motivational stories of young entrepreneurs!

In this story, a young 15 year old boy created a mobile news start-up application that was eventually bought by a company that we all know, YAHOO!


Can you imagine being only 15 years old and actually selling something to Yahoo!?!? AND FOR $30 MILLION!? Craziness.

So this Britain native, Nick D'Aloisio creates this app that scans the web for news by using an algorithm and then summarizes the story for you! 

Just like that, no more searching the web for your news and having to read through the ENTIRE ARTICLE- it's all right there at the click of a button!

Genius.

For the full story on just how cool and inspiring this story is, click the link below.
