Congrats to all 600+ winners, it's nice to be recognized. I like that the 30 under 30 list is now category-based, and not just 30 mostly Internet entrepreneurs

Congrats to all 600+ winners, it's nice to be recognized.
I like that the 30 under 30 list is now category-based, and not just 30 mostly Internet entrepreneurs (many benefiting from great PR people or influence with the judges).
With the addition of categories, now fashion, arts, healthcare, food, science, energy, and more can be better represented and surfaced to a broader audience.
You can see all the categories here: http://www.forbes.com/30under30/#/ http://www.forbes.com/30under30/#/
- AndrewKemendo 12y agoAgreed, good on these folks and I wish them all the success in the world. As someone over 30 however, I find these lists depressing.
- ElComradio 12y agoIf it's any consolation, most of these will be one trick ponies. One big exit, and forever chasing that rabbit.
- 7Figures2Commas 12y agoThat's a horribly cynical perspective.
- saucymew 12y agoHowever, statistically correct.
- 7Figures2Commas 12y agoApparently you didn't even look at the lists. There are hundreds of people on them, and many are not even company founders seeking an exit. This said, I think most tech entrepreneurs would be thrilled at the prospect of being a one-trick pony with a single big exit. Heck, that is literally "The Silicon Valley Dream" today.
- ElComradio 12y agoI agree, but then... what?
