He is there as a group of 20 young entrepreneurs to meet with white house staff for the purpose of discussing ways to help economy that administration may not have thought of yet..

See the tweet from our pal Tony @zappos (who is also one of the 20)

"Meeting at White House tomorrow to discuss ways to help economy that administration may not have thought of yet. What are your suggestions?"
