How is this worth $3.5M? Is it just a 1 man shop? Not to be a hater (if true, I am jealous and proud of this kid), but it seems like the media made up this number. Kudos to him for building something as a teen (When I was his age, I was doing web design and programming work freelance).

<i>&quot;2012 was rich with large clients and strong finances for Bledsoe Technologies. Throughout the year, I received multiple inquiries on taking this company public. I answered most of these inquiries with soon! Due to these inquiries I reached out to many business brokers for informal valuations. These valuations returned numbers from $100,000 to $3,750,000. &quot;</i><p>It sounds like a broker just drew the $3mm number out of a hat. Still cool that he is working hard but the article is a bit of a fluff piece.
