I know this kid personally. All hype imo. He's got no discernable skill or experience. The only reason I can think of for why he got funded is for kissing up to certain high level angels since he was 15 and leveraging the age card like no other.

I don't know Levy personally but I know quite a few teenage entrepreneurs and I would have to say that it's definitely an advantage. Investors and others these kind of stories of the next Mark Zuck, gotta get them early you know.
