A very interesting article of a guy who was born and raised in Guatemala and studied in the US universities, made eight figures from the sale of one of 2 companies that he sold to Google.

Cool. I've used Duolingo, the company that he is running now, it's a pretty good app. And we've all used Re-captcha, I think! I wish I could be one of those guys that makes an app that Google wants and become rich or hell, just $100K a year. The odds are like winning a lottery ticket.
