13-year Old Silicon Valley CEO of Elementeo

[xeamus]

man, educational games ALWAYS suck ass. I hated them when I was a kid.

[zefityzalch1]

I WANT THIS GAME SINCE I LIKE CARD GAMES AND SCIENCE

[antizionfighter]

Hollywood movies !! ...CEO My A##

[iamarealboy2010]

BORING

[tocarress]

back in 2006 in high school chemistry class i came up with the idea (as a joke) of an video game, anime, and card game series like pokemon except with elements of the periodic table...

it was funny one guy commented on my joke: "Helium, use your Inflation Attack!"

i was gonna call it "chemimon (chemical monsters)" or something

too bad i never actually created it... this kid beat me to it! lol

[HayyoDota]

will it is a good game for kids.... but you should think about "is the price 30$ good for a kid??" can all kids effort it??

I live in the Middle East and I can't find any place that have that game...

and do you think it will be electronic one day? as a PC game that could play it online or even LAN...

Nice idea anyway...

Keep on going m8

[tootleekids]

Tootlee.com did a story on Anshur. He's an incredible kid, just like all the other kids on Tootlee.com. Head on over and check it out!

[InfantKid]

3 years later and no elementeo

guess he failed

[ChateauSiran1986]

haha, gosh what a smart kid! kid, I hope ya make money some day!

[zurdojunior]

Congratulations, you're a wonderful boy, go on, I expected a great future.

[sgtunix]

Keep it up buddy, it's nice to see someone 13 years younger than me also being an entrepreneur!

[owl975]

I don't know about elementeo, but the kid has a bright future.

[mastertek]

he is bright and promising but i dont see any potential in that card game

[1888junkteam]

excellent work!

[RawbertDestruct]

We inject heroin into education!

[shakoyan]

good job buddy

[dracosgirl77]

great concept, I'm sure he'll do very well in life!

[bondtylerbond44]

haha he wanted 1 million in rev for this kid??? yeah right learning chem is and always will be boring

[mustaineadeth]

At least he's not stealing anything to get ahead.

[JohnRhysMusician]

I am not sure this got any funding.

[mahatrugoyal2]

So now people won't consider 13 as unlucky number........

[technologyadvantage]

He's probably smart but not realistic.

[finemofok]

Q? Why are the smartes people Foreigners?

Chinese, Indians, Pakistans, hindues.... They take all the good jobs!!!

[Whiteberry22]

Cause most Americans dont appriciate what they have and dont set them sels some huge goals

[spurs8810]

I must say that some Americans do get lazy with finding jobs and setting goals, but we all must agree that the United States of America is the best country on Earth.

[KrasnayaKapella]

Dude, cuz Americans are stupid, that's why any other nationality seems to be smart. He's 13, that makes him a 7th grader. That means he had about 2 years of chem classes by this time. Which probably means he already knows a lot of general chem topics, knows how to solve chem. equations, operate with moles and periodic table. What this kid does have is initiative, which means he deserves credit for what he does. Good job, kid!

[bigmankid69]

I think this is great, what your doing. I wanted to say i think that having high goals are great in life, but I feel setting goals that are on the doable side is better. I just don't want to see you get discouraged if you don't meet the expectations you are setting for yourself. Keep us posted on Youtube about your progress. I love the idea. its like a game of Magic, or dungeons and dragons. I never played these games myself, but they were very successful. Who drew your cards for your game?

[JamesD567]

my name is...blah blah blah......SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPP!

[ebsportsmaniac]

why dont you

[ssabo123]

hey dont hate... and i know he would be happy for u guys who are saying hes awesome... lol

i know him--- he is one of my friends.. and he isnt a nerd ... he likes to have fun 2

[Somuchclass]

GO TIE!!!! GO CEO stationed at the UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON!

[LiJieMeng]

wish you luck

[thk12205]

What a wonderful accomplishment!

I hope this card game breaks through so I can purchase a copy for my siblings who are going to be learning about chemistry in about a year or two.

[ncblazin247]

any college he wants

[bustibule]

You are AWESOME Man!!!! Way to Go! Best of "LUCK" to YOU!

[Donutsmasher1]

What a nerd

[ebsportsmaniac]

what a dick you are donutsmasher

[RAR724]

i saw this on NHK too.

[sigeo1985]

concept is like pocket monster.

I wacthed this video in NHK TVprogram In Japan.

this boy is very deep impact to me.

[swankyking]

This kid said 1 million dollars in revenue by the end of MIDDLE SCHOOL... that is AMAZING

[DowntHateAppreciat]

damn its kinda nerdy but no disraspect

[r31ncarnat3d]

1. To the guy below me: You think we're nerds, we think you'll be washing our car and taking out our trash in 5 years.

2. To the guy in the video: You should have clarified what this is targetting. It'd help 8th graders taking basic chem, for example, but on the other hand, prob. wouldnt have helped me in AP chem.

3. To the same guy, advertising leaves much to be desired. Remember, ads are the most important part of any business, whether they be print or word of mouth.

Keep up your efforts.

[bjbernis]

He took Pokemon, which 13 year olds are totally gay about (and gay for playing, btw), and instead of leaning about "Pikachu" they learn about "heavy metals" and "nuclear isotopes." The cards look very professional, but it seems that he, unlike most of us, has had financial investment backing from his rich Doctor parents...although the only problem is that only nerds (such as those who know chemistry)would play this game anyway.

[novoare]

That's right, it's a good concept BUT most kids are too stupid to be interested in playing that game.

[AkarioTheReal]

Maybe you should learn to spell before you comment on a dude smarter then you. It's Learn not lean.

[GrayMatterz]

It's than not then.

[meghamillie]

wow well done thts great of that guy. all u peeps tht r leaving nasty comments- ur jst inwardly jealous. cos thts wht bitterness is. he's smart n ur not. support him, dont b jealous

[grrreatman2]

paki

[itsper]

OMG lol he talks fast. xD

[Wallabee603]

LAWL............gregsby1981

[spikyboyjoe]

I only can say one thing.

(Indian) Tony Stark, in the making.

[neehowneehow]

wat a loser.

[Jess787pr]

why? because he is younger yet has more ambition that you?, oh wait! that would make you the loser. Anyways at least he's trying to make money the decent way, not by eating bugs and sleeping with cockroaches, eww.

[navneet428]

THATS CRazzy

[orangespwn]

Some might think he's nerdy and dorky, but at school he's very popular and social.

[Birdtrooper]

Holy shit dude, this reminds me of when I came up with a similar game as a kid around that age but mine was more of a chemistry replacement for the alchemy system seen in RPG video games such as Secret Of Evermore. That's one reason why this game is such a cool idea, I'd love to play that game, particularly if it were a video game and I could have the option of competing with an AI

Good job kid

[Gregsby1981]

Maybe he could sell his lisp for $50.00, or fifty dollarshhhshhhhhhshhhhhhhhshhh­hhhhh

[Gregsby1981]

That wasn't a very nice

[Gregsby1981]

I'm shshshshshory

[Sugashortz]

You are not sorry. Your being a smart ass

[knockout1290]

wow..WAT A NERD...i mean its not bad to be a nerd, but that much of a nerd!!!wow

[nyckingpin]

That nerd got 5 million invested in his company and he is only thirteen.

[IceTookieGamer]

lol. I laugh to this video because if you notice at the beginning of this video he says "Here at Elementeo..." While in the related video TiECon07 when the woman is interviewing him he says with confidence again "Here at Elementeo..." LOL. He obviously wrote a script and just rehearsed it... LOL. The funniest thing I've seen broadcasted since the time when the first person in the U.K. to swear on national television. One of the guys from the Sex Pistols.

[r31ncarnat3d]

fine idea and all. to be honest, a lot of these ideas are great idea.

however, no one thinks about the practicality of this.

first off, does the world need another card game? (pokemon, yu-gi-oh, magic, harry potter, etc)

second, kids wont buy educational stuff by themselves unless its either for them to pass an AP class or their parents force them too.

nice idea, but just not practical

[ShardaeRockz]

MayN3 Wuh Da fuK.....

[jakobdorof]

insane! this kid's gonna have the world in the palm of his hand someday, this is just unbelievable.

[yarduh]

im serious i go to his school

[warrioramin]

naa..

i'll stick with normal education.

[2wheel16]

What an idiot.... This is a worthless idea really...

[anbrin]

Angel and investers and what else did he say something about fieces LOL???

[naibwen]

you're awesome

[tulsapro]

I quit.

I'm just going to throw my keys over the fence and become a beach cabana boy.

ugh

[0k13r4n0]

*cough nerd *cough...just kidding! =P

[cassiefan2]

wtf

[elnenedelflow2kx]

im gonna kill myself now... j/k cool dude keep it up

[zweio112233]

oh man ... that kid makes me look stupid :(

[CassieDynomite]

Well spoken and smart, when i grow up i wantto be like him!

[LordOftheMind]

oh come on, leave this kid alone, he pulled some ascent business philosophy which inclined his product to a different degree whereas it is more diligent when you compare it with other 7th-10th grade projects.

[franklinlevy]

uhh???

[scullyy]

rofl!

[keaply]

Geek alert!!!!

[Jimmypage512]

the guy filming him didnt sound to ensutheastic. wow i can not spell that word for shit.

[equirnam]

how come people from india are so damn smart!??

[chango714]

any one can be smart...it's more like: "why are so many people lazy?"

[mkghuy]

lol...true...

[stevenup7002]

(-_-). I'm 14 and I'm working on a first person shooter.

[ibeatdownemos]

u need to get laid

[lamtsite]

Yep, he's got the CEO bullshit speak down pat, he doesn't recognize the people who are there, he just drones on liake a robot with all the "right" words.

[EquityFingerprint]

This is fantastic. I am working through a game to help people over 18 understand venture capital. I did not think of armies and reducing people to zero as that is not the VC way! Perhaps I should have spoken to 13year olds first! It is great design and a fantastic pitch. Can we order on line?

[Mattimis]

you shouldn't laugh at us daffysm; i was there and i feel like this is going to be VERY successful

so five years from now, when we're famous, you'll wish the you rooted for us. =P

[cleako]

sounds pretty geeky. he just needs to keep going with his thing and he'll make it big.

[WiseGuy02]

Great presentation, let down by shite filming. Hope you get your million.

[malakiesinc]

you're a winner

[DualDrinker]

The key is: He doesn't risk anything by doing this. Nothing. Not even grades. Not even his money, as he doesn't have any. Niente.

No risk -> no fears -> motivation

[thenickboy]

spoken like a true CEO. He's pretty articulate with his description of their product. I can see this kid going far.

[nscarred4life]

nice.....you go boy!!

just a while back I watched two parents........in the ghetto teaching their 3 year old how to cuss and thought it was funny....she will probably grow up a blame the system. Someone will then have to show her the yester years of youtube and tell her to blame her parents

[Mister22MR2]

Face it kid, you're going to end up in a gas station or a motel.

Just kidding, don't everyone get all angry. =)

[mysticman725]

Even so, you should know that Indian's are by far the best educated and have the highest avg income of all in the US - including all immigrant groups.

[SkunkyBeaumont]

Where did you hear that? Studies I've seen usually group them in with other Asian groups.

[daffysm]

"by the end of middle school" ahahahahahaha

[daniglue]

oh, wow...amazing...will he blend??

[maverickccs]

HAHAHAHHAHAHA

[daneechka]

lol!

[djmosaic]

ahahahahahah true that!!

[justviewin2007]

Virgin? No, not likely. You know he could afford some high priced ho's.

[fullmetalawesome]

I hope his ambitions don't get in the way of having a good time, kissing girls, and making mistakes. Business is about mutual understanding, and I would find it hard to understand somebody who missed out on a lot of life's best experiences. Some things just have to come with time.

Congratualtions, good luck, and take it easy.

[lifeinplastic]

I must say good for him for trying, but I don't think that his idea is all that hot. The situation seems like Eargon; if it makes it big it is because his age. I am impressed with him for going for it. That takes guts.

[kamehax]

isnt that called magic ? you know that 10 something years old games, hmm i wonder if he may get in trouble by using other ppls ideas

[cnash979]

tool

[yohanserge]

all students in GATE did shit like this...standard stuff...

[DualDrinker]

His parents must have actively guided him and encouraged him to "turning creative and new ideas into a wholesome concept presentable to people of interest".

Instead of learning marksmanship, as quite a number of young americans do, or fishing or playing football, he learned about the structure of companies, learned how to stress properly to achieve the right effect in the audience (see "passive learning" above) and so on.

[DualDrinker]

Well, watching press releases of many, many companies instead of cartoons is one way. If a child knows only those because it witnessed its parents watching only those PRs and nothing or rarely anything else, its quite understandable.

But that wouldn't be sufficent for what we have seen here. This would suffice for arousing interest and passive learning. A greater source of motivation is needed, which would be: education.

[DualDrinker]

Seriously people, think about it:

Decisive for a child's future is the upbringing. He must have been raised in an environment where entrepreneurship is omnipresent. The way he speaks does is not nurtured from his self-confidence but he has learned it. How could he have learned that in those 7 years he had (I don't think children at the age of 4 are capable of learning language of that level, unless...[as follows)])?

[boortje]

Unless you're interested in business from a very early age on and try to learn from businesspeople whenever you get the opportunity, which I've done, too, and I am 16 years old now. It is true that you miss some of life's important experiences people usually have at this age, but I think that the experience you get being a teen entrepreneur - if you're social and also work a lot with people of your own age - makes up for the life experience "lost" by not having the experiences you're citing.

[DualDrinker]

All in all, this kids no entrepreneurial mozart. Intensive focus and guidance by the parents can lead to this without much problem and without ethical objections. The same was the case with the 9-year old computer-science graduate, also indian. The indians seem to have indeed a strong will and an affinity to entrpreneurship no doubt.

I wish I were born with motivation permeating my every pore... :|

But no free mind, really.

[wunderfool1973]

:-|

[Rival772]

I think kids playing those role playing board games dont have problems learning chem. If they came up with a T.V. show mixing chemestry and american idol i'd say your on to something there. At least the kid is doing more for education than I am. Just suprised this made /.

[superhelix]

Great pitch! I'd invest if I had the dosh.
