jcasman writes "Some entrepreneurs wait a lifetime to experience the thrill of selling their startup companies. Daniil Kulchenko, a Seattle area high school student, accomplished that milestone at the age of 15. Kulchenko today announced that he's sold his startup, a cloud-based computing company known as Phenona, to Vancouver, B.C.-based ActiveState in a deal of undisclosed size."

    From the article:

    Kulchenkoâ(TM)s father, Paul, is an artificial intelligence and robotics researcher at the University of Washington.

    Well shit, how convenient. This would be impressive if he was underprivileged in a working-class family with no home internet connection, spending all his free time defying the odds from the computer lab or coffee shop after school.

    Born into being fed with silverspoon, using rich engineer Daddy's academic resources, name, and business connections is not at all impressive.
