Kid-Trepreneurs Take Manhattan!

Inc.com's annual 30 Under 30 event was held at d'Or yesterday night.
It was a union of the timid kittens that are the thirty hottest entrepreneurs under the age of - you guessed it HOTSHOT - thirty, who have done something kick ass in the past year. Timid kittens because, hey young guns, if you're going to run the world along with the geeks, it's time to get mad, get even, and get yourself out there [read: splurge for business cards my little friends].

Kids of note at (or not at) the party:

- Matt Mullenweg, one of the founders of 'WordPress' was a no-show which was disappointing. Therefore whether he is less nerdy and young-looking than in his photos remains to be seen.

- Jason Wright, one of the founders of 'Feed Granola', a former 30 Under 30 A-lister and local model/lady killah, showed up and with his down-home South Carolina accent, proceeded to work the d'Or floor. I would love a drink Jason, thank you! Who wouldn't say yes to him? Well, Wholefoods (large high-end grocery store) certainly said yes, and is now distributing Feed's granola around the country.

- Richard Salem from Gramstand has not yet been nominated for the 30 Under 30 list, but was one of the most interesting cats at the pah-tay. Here's why: he was carrying a LIBRARY BOOK under his arm and was downright honest about his entrepreneurial woes. Could he be the last human in New York City still borrowing books (besides Carrie Bradshaw)? Not sure, but I did learn that his loose-leaf tea upstart had taken a downturn after a not-so-successful 6 month partnership with PURE Yoga Studios.
