From cock Silk to America's youngest upstart.

Mind。 Power。 A deposit of millions of dollars in the bank. Nick Daloisio has all the above. That year, he was only 18 years old. As you may have heard, Aloisio last year, he was 17 years old when he used the Summly Mobile news summary of his viral filtering function to sell to Yahoo at a price of 30 million dollars. It was an Australian-born British program prodigy who finished his parents ' bedroom at the home in London at the age of 15. Aloisio is one of the youngest millionaires ever made from scratch. He is also the youngest entrepreneur in the world to receive venture capital support. In 2011, Aloisio a $300,000 trillion of seed money for Summly from the Victoria Harbour, the Hong Kong billionaire, Sir Li Ka-shing. He then raised 1.23 million of dollars in 2012 from a number of front-line celebrity investors, including Ono, Rupert Murdoch, Hawking and Kutcher. Aloisio, who has recently been rated the "Innovator of the Year" by The Wall Street Journal, is now a key staff member of the Yahoo Mobile software engineering team. He designed the technology giant's new fashion application---yahoo News Digest, which Yahoo described as Aloisio's summly design upgrades. The original design as a senior student's work is still good. Yahoo News Digest is Aloisio's favorite product and we have contacted him to talk about his success at Yahoo, and the following conversations will be of great help to you as a young entrepreneur. Entrepreneur: How did you celebrate when Yahoo bought Summly? Aloisio: It feels a little unreal. But I'm really just going to work and focus on what I did when I was summly. I was really proud when Yahoo News Digest was released and it was a direct upgrade to Summly. Entrepreneur: What do you want people to know about Yahoo News Digest? Aloisio: Yahoo News Digest pushes two of the most important news to the user every day and is sent directly to the user's mobile device. The messages we push are the most definitive summary of what users need to know about the day to ensure that they can follow up on what happens every day. Each push will limit the most important news to a certain length. We provide not only text information, but also visual "elements"-pictures, videos, Twitter, maps, etc., about 14 kinds. The information that people are exposed to today is excessive, and through Yahoo News Digest we want users to have a complete sense of certainty after reading the news of the day. Our news digest is brief but informative, and for interested news, users can also choose to read deeply. Entrepreneur:When you are not working, what is your leisure style? Aloisio: My life is no different from that of a 18-year-old man in London. I still go to meet friends on weekends, go to parties, and I will graduate soon, so I have a lot of homework to do. Entrepreneur: What technology products are you inseparable from? Aloisio: I really like to use Snapchat and Vine. They are really good examples of the fleeting nature of the message and the urgency of knowledge that is required to meet the current age of the Internet. Entrepreneur: When entrepreneurs lobby for venture capital investors, what are the mistakes that need to be avoided? Aloisio: I think some entrepreneurs focus too much on the concept itself, ignoring the focus on the implementation of the plan or the quantification of successful solutions. Metrics, plans, patents, and implementations are as important as the idea itself. Entrepreneur: Do you have any advice for young entrepreneurs who are looking for their first major breakthrough? Aloisio: People want to achieve their initial goals, they must teach themselves all the skills needed to achieve their goals, such as planning, business development strategies, design, marketing, etc. There are plenty of resources available on these Web sites. Be fearless and don't be afraid of failure. Learning from mistakes is the best way to learn.
