This kid is 15 years old, but he is an investor with $20 million.

這個小孩才15歲，但他已經是個擁有兩千萬美元的投資客了。

And he did all of that from the bathroom of his high school.

他之所以能做到這一切，全都是在高中廁所裡完成的。

And why is there a toilet in his living room?

Eric was just a normal kid from the middle of nowhere in Indiana.

Eric只是個來自印第安納州偏僻地區的普通小孩。

At age 12, he didn't even have a computer.

12歲時，他甚至連電腦都沒有。

My parents are really, really strict, so they didn't want me to have social media when I was young other than YouTube.

我爸媽管得很嚴很嚴，所以他們不希望我年輕時接觸社群媒體，YouTube除外。

And when he got his first personal computer, he did something smart.

然後他拿到第一臺個人電腦時，他做了一件很聰明的事。

He joined hundreds of online communities on Discord and started spamming, looking for a job.

他加入了 Discord 上數百個線上社群，開始到處發送訊息找工作。

I built a brand saying that I was just like really good 13 year old coder and a lot of people in San Francisco wanted some of that, so.

我建立了一個品牌，說我是一個很厲害的 13 歲程式設計師，舊金山很多人都想要我這種人才，所以。

是的，我是以找到了一份工作。

Then he wanted to get the attention of CEOs of startups.

然後他想引起新創公司 CEO 的注意。

So he went to Twitter and started posting many, many tweets.

於是他到 Twitter 上開始發了非常非常多的推文。

I tried to figure out how to go viral on Twitter and get the attentions of CEOs and executives.

我試著找出如何在 Twitter 上爆紅，並引起 CEO 和高層的注意。

I got a couple of viral tweets and even got noticed by people like Mr.

我發了幾篇爆紅的推文，甚至引起了像 Mr.

Beast 和 Elon Musk 這些人的注意。

Then he started to guess people's emails and their Google calendars.

然後他開始猜測大家的 email 和他們的 Google 日曆。

A lot of their Twitter usernames are correlated to their emails.

很多人的 Twitter 使用名稱都跟他們的 email 有關聯。

So what I did was I wrote a scraper to basically get the Twitter usernames and put it behind emails and schedule meetings with them.

所以我做的就是寫了一個爬蟲程式，基本上是抓取 Twitter 使用名稱，然後跟 email 結合，並跟他們安排會議。

And they responded because they saw a 13 year old on their calendar and they were like, how can I not take this call?

然後他們就回應了，因為他們看到日曆上出現一個 13 歲的小孩，心想：「我怎麼能不接這個電話呢？」

Did you, did you meet investors this way?

你，你是這樣認識投資人的嗎？

對啊，我認識了 GitHub 的創辦人。

他們是我們最早的投資人之一。

And when investors said yes to meeting him, he took the meeting in his high school bathroom because he had nowhere else to go during business hours.

然後當投資人答應要見他時，他就在高中廁所裡開會，因為上班時間他沒有別的地方可以去。

And after doing so many meetings in this high school bathroom, I got banned from my principal from using the restroom during school hours.

而且在高中廁所開了這麼多會之後，我被校長禁止在學校時間使用廁所了。

That's why now he has a bathroom in the middle of his living room to remind him of these days.

所以他現在客廳中間有個廁所，提醒他這段日子。

Why do you have a toilet in your living room?

Because one of my investors shipped it to me and he thought it would be funny.

因為我一個投資人寄給我的，他覺得這樣很好笑。

Slowly but surely this 15 year old kid became famous in San Francisco even though he doesn't even live here.

慢慢地，這個 15 歲的孩子在舊金山出名了，雖然他不住在這裡。

And three years later, he turned 15 and raised a venture capital fund with his friend that's worth $20 million to invest in other startups.

三年後，他 15 歲，跟朋友一起創辦了一個價值 2000 萬美元的創投基金，用來投資其他新創公司。

And he's even starting his own company with his friends, who are also very young.

他甚至還跟他的朋友們一起創辦了自己的公司，他們也都非常年輕。

Don't let age be a number that prevents you from accomplishing things.

別讓年齡成為阻礙你達成目標的數字。

Age, at the end of the day, is just a number.

說到底，年齡就只是一個數字。

I'm probably going to go to university, but

for a few days because my mom is Asian and are you gonna drop out after?

幾天，因為我媽媽是亞洲人，所以你會在之後輟學嗎？

Not because he raised $20 million, but because he hacked his way to success.

不是因為他募到了 2000 萬美元，而是因為他靠著「駭客」技巧走向成功。

Hacked discord, Twitter and Google calendars just to be noticed.

駭進 Discord、Twitter 和 Google 日曆，只是為了引起注意。

It comes from consistent hard work and secret meetings in the high school bathroom.

而是靠著持續的努力，以及高中廁所裡的祕密會議。
