"My typical morning starts around 3 a.m. I'm instantly met with Messenger notifications from web developers in California, GitHub pings from Florida, and a running document of research papers to read sent from Michigan. By 7:50 a.m. I'm off to class to live my life as an 18-year-old high school senior in Seoul. This solitary ritual has become my strange normal after I founded an AI research and development startup with people all around the world, whom I've never met in person."
"My ambition was to improve Alzheimer's diagnostics, but I had no network, so I built one online. Growing up, I heard stories about various family members battling Alzheimer's. I viewed the disease as something truly terrifying, which leaves behind only the shell of who someone once was. I'd grown up knowing that someday, someone I love might disappear while still standing in front of me. In high school, this fear crystallized into something beyond passive acceptance."
An 18-year-old high school senior in Seoul founded an AI research and development startup with students worldwide met online. The team of high schoolers aims to improve Alzheimer's diagnostics and launched an AI therapy product to help patients with memory recall. Daily coordination spans time zones, with early-morning messages from developers and researchers across the United States balanced against in-person school life. Personal family experiences with Alzheimer's provided motivation. Limited existing network prompted active recruitment through internet forums, Discord, and GitHub to assemble diverse collaborators and pursue funding opportunities for accessible health solutions.
