San Francisco, Feb 21, 2012, Reuters : Faceebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg Josh Buckley, Chief Executive of an online gaming start-up, is looking forward to next month’s Game Developers Conference, particularly for parties with industry A-listers. But, Buckley, who will turn 20 this week, may be turned away from the parties because he is not old enough to drink. Such are the dilemmas facing the ever-younger entrepreneurs that Silicon Valley investors are backing these days. While little data on the phenomenon exists, venture capitalists say they are funding more chief executives under age 21 than ever before.
