Whiz Kid: Brian Wong

http://www.carbonated.tv/episode/Whiz+Kid+Brian+Wong
19 year old Brian Wong isn't kidding around! This young entrepreneur, who's just received a chunk of VC money, is what Silicon Valley is all about and he's out to prove it. He is the current founder of Kiip and he is set out to revolutionize the gaming world as we know it. He says he has figured out a better way for game developers to monetize their work. As an advisor with Kicklabs in San Francisco, he works with many young entrepreneurs, leading by example. Since he has successfully founded Followformation, an automated twitter following service, and worked closely with Kevin Rose at Digg while developing their android app, he has plenty of advice to give on starting a business. We caught up with him to find out how everything is going.... and oh yeah... what his favorite T-Shirt is.

@me69tube1 Well I'm sure Wong had a solid plan. My company is in the process of getting a million dollars in funding and I'm 17 years old. I know that sounds super optimistic, but type in Streams and Bubbles on youtube to see our product.

@KoloCpp...as a matter of fact, I raised 5x the funds Brian did for my 1st startup...and did so by talking about the business plan and how I would make it succeed instead of mindless nonsense.

@me69tube1 This is an interview... about him. Not to mention he's accomplished a lot. Where's your start-up with incredible amounts of funding and potential?

Most of the startups are full of shit and get thousands for some basic php and mysql skills. Definitely something to jump in on before its gone.
