I was expecting Slik[1] to be on this list. Anyone know why it was not included? There were quite a few articles about this company since it was founded by a 15 year old and a 16 year old [2].

There was also a WSJ article[3] today though I did not read it since it's paywalled. Anyway to read the article?

Some companies go off the record. One reason is that they have deals or revenues they don't want to share with the public.

Great to see such young entrepreneurs, who is the CEO? even in Delaware I think you must be over 18.

They were off record. Didn't want a couple things to be public.
I'm curious how the crowd around here feels about the ethics of this company. This is a website where we all regularly talk to each other in myname @ the google domain specifically to avoid to spammers picking up our email accounts and bothering us.
'slikq'= Slik HQ?
why create a throw away "slikq" account? any intentions of trolling?
