A Glimpse at the Next Generation
Two young brothers, accomplished beyond their years, explain themselves. One graduated from Stanford at 19 and now, at 21, works as a Silicon Valley VC. Another dropped out of Harvard as a junior at 17 (with help from Peter Thiel), and joined a startup. In the meantime they created a growing nonprofit. And what about those biofuel patents? David Kirkpatrick speaks with Sheel Tyle, Associate at NEA, and Sujay Tyle, Vice President of Business Development at Scopely, at Techonomy 2012 in Tucson, Ariz.
