Title: Re: Yahoo has paid a 17-year-old boy £18 million (90% in cash!!!) Post by: meanig on March 27, 2013, 12:25:39 AM From another forum I read,
Quote I was hired by Summly to write the Android version of their app, which was finished some weeks ago but the release date got shelved at the point they entered due diligence with Yahoo. Since Yahoo have killed the apps I now know that it'll never be released. So that was a total waste of time. :angry: Nick's a very smart kid and I like him, but I suggest not believing the hype 100%. It's stretching the truth to breaking point to paint this as a teen wunderkind creating multimillion-dollar products from their bedroom... Summly's quirky iOS app was mostly designed and written by an outside agency. Nick is supported by a team of techies and PR experts who know exactly how much both press and public *love* the "teenage genius millionaire" news template and they have exploited that interest brilliantly. His investment banker Dad and IP lawyer Mum were the driving forces behind the endeavour. |
