     While there’s no telling what will happen with Ello, it’s worth remembering that Budnitz isn’t just another broish Stanford grad with an app idea. His social dreams may not pay off big, but as the founder of the well-established, ultra-hip toy and design company Kidrobot, he doesn’t really need to strike it big as the next Mark Zuckerberg.
