Age Is Just A Number.

by Max Baron — CEO & FOUNDER, PREPREPS

When I founded PrepReps, I was 16 years old. Little did I know that 6 months from the website going live I would be profiled in AdAge, have VC’s ringing, and be partnering with technology companies across the United States.

Through it all, I have learned an important lesson. Age is just a number. Some of the world’s brightest entrepreneurs still live with their parents — I still do.

I think that young people have an acumen about the way millennials live that others simply might not.

Young people might not consider the legality of their ideas, but they come up with truly ingenuous ways of changing the world, in ways that impact everyone, not just themselves.

They should be valued contributors in our society, and should, accordingly, have their ideas seriously considered. We live in a period when the problems facing our world are huge, and evidently, we could use all the help we can get in solving them. There is an entire generation of intelligent, hard-working, motivated people who are looking to help change it, and society should let them.
