Im 16 and just raised $1 million for my AI project despite being average at school. Heres why it helps to be delusional.
Summary
A 16-year-old founder says he raised $1 million for his AI project, Beem, and chose to leave school to build it full time. He describes teaching himself coding, experimenting with technology from a young age, and using curiosity to guide his work. He also explains that he pitched investors across London, New York, and Silicon Valley before securing backing from South Park Commons. The funding and visa approval let him move to San Francisco, where he plans to continue developing the product.
