| Nick D’Aloisio, 17 |
What began as an idea when he was
15-years-old turned into a multimillion dollar purchase by Yahoo.
Nick D’Aloisio came up with Summly- a service that brings snapshots of news stories to users on mobile devices and formats articles for smaller screens.

The now 17-year-old has made a deal
with Yahoo for the acquisition of Summly, but the specific amount of the
purchase has not been disclosed.
This purchase comes only four months after Yahoo CEO Marissa
Mayer said the company would focus more on mobile strategy, specifically news,
sports, and apps.
