Young was just correlated with being cheap (I'm 27 with 2 kids and a mortgage. 5 years ago I was cheap but definitely not now). Also I remember you wrote that you wanted to test the lower bound of how old a startup founder could be. Your interest in undergrads was unusual when you started (maybe not so unusual now due to your success).
I chose acquirable as opposed to profitable because of the emphasis on creating great technology and great products, and worrying about monetizing and business plans later. Having a profitable business acquire you frees you from worrying about it at all. Being profitable doesn't hurt, but you've said over and over again that if you have a product that users love, you can find a way to make money.
