Does it say his parents were supportive? It mentions they leant him money, is that what you meant.



The article notes his parents lent him $2000 (at 13) and his mother helped him build the site for his company.

Sounds like support to me.

They were also likely undersigners on his manufacture deal.


It says his mother helped him make a website to sell the wheels. That's pretty substantial, and surely his parents signed some contracts along the way to get deals done (which means money and time, not to mention the more ethereal "support" that you give someone when you sign a contract for their benefit and your possible detriment).
