So cool, great start up story. Nice that he had parents that could afford to invest $300K in his dream. Behind every great start up is some rich person who handed someone a pile of money to get started. Bill Gates Mom was on the board of directors of IBM. People forget that. Wouldn't it be interesting to see if you could take someone who grew up poor and see if the same thing would work.
