TYCOONS: A high-tech success story at a young age

We are enormously proud of the business tycoon in our family. During his freshman year in college, he started a business for a class project. Seeing the potential in it (it's an app offering businesses instant feedback from customers), he applied to the YCombinator program in California and was selected to participate in the intensive, high-profile venture capital incubator. He promoted his company, sold it, and then went to work for the new owner. And he's still graduating from Harvard University, on time, this week. He'll take the summer off to travel before starting a lucrative job in Manhattan (where, he says thankfully, rents are much lower than in Silicon Valley).
Most importantly, he's a good, nice young man.
We were discussing this lad's success story at dinner last night, and the Young Relative, only in middle school but already with his father's and grandfather's taste for expensive vehicles, wonders how he might learn from his cousin's example. What math classes did his cousin take in middle and high school, and are they offered at Unionville? How many college credits did he accumulate before graduating from high school? Watch out, guidance counselors.
By the way, the Young Relative reports that the school year, extended thanks to snow days, is winding down, much to the relief of students and teachers alike. He is looking forward to a class trip to Dorney Park, where he and his classmates will do some hands-on investigations into the physics of roller coasters.
