Paul Kedrowsky speaks at MIT about how the facts of life – namely, the effects of aging – are going to totally transform our society.

Saturday, December 11th, 2010

TILE showed up for part of the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards at the New York Stock Exchange this October, and we met some young folks who made us feel bad about sleeping through college.

Handing Out Money for Profit: Meet Chris Jacobs, Founder of Honest Discounts

Thursday, November 25th, 2010

Chris is another fine lad we met at the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards event at the NYSE. He’s been a business-starting maniac since age nine, but it took him until 2009 to be named Business Week’s Top Young Entrepreneur. In the same year, he was a finalist in the GSEA.

Today he runs a company that provides free discount cards to people without prescription drug insurance, making it more affordable for the underinsured to get the medication they need (and making a profit in the meanwhile). Here’s Chris:
