Youngest Y Combinator Founders Launch MinoMonsters, The Pokemon Of Social Games

At age 15, most normal people are going to high school, learning to drive, not listening to their parents, and doing things that they'll later tell their kids not to do. Josh Buckley is not a normal teenager. At 15, he was selling his first company for just over six figures. Today, the 18-year-old entrepreneur and angel investor has partnered with 17-year-old engineer Tyler Diaz to co-found MinoMonsters, a social game in which players collect and battle pet monsters. According to Y Combinator Partner Paul Graham, Buckley and Diaz are the youngest pair of founders it has ever accepted into the fold. What's more, to put the icing on the Millenial entrepreneurs' cake, Buckley told me that the startup just hired Apple's youngest engineer. (But cannot yet reveal his name for legal reasons.)
