Cory Levy is currently an 18 year-old senior student at Emery High School, a secondary parochial school in Houston, Texas.
During the summers of ’08 and ’09, at the young age of 16 and 17, Cory interned at two of the top venture capital firms on both the west and east coasts – Union Square Ventures and the Founders Fund. Additionally, he interned at a startup accelerator, TechStars, in Boulder, Colorado. From these internships, Cory obtained exposure and experience in the startup environment not enjoyed by people much older than him.
Emanating from intense entrepreneurial interest, at a very young age, Cory was provided the opportunity to acquire equity interests in certain startup companies in consideration for valuable advice provided by Cory. He was able to ingratiate himself with outstanding people in the Internet arena who provided Cory with important information for him to continue to pursue his passion. As a result of these relationships, Cory was asked as a 17 year-old to speak at Duke University where he lectured in February ’09 and September ’09, and as an 18 year-old at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Cory’s outstanding recognition at such an early age cannot be adequately measured in any definitive manner.
