"When I went to college in 2017, I already knew I wanted to work in startups and make a difference in the world. After my freshman year at the University of Michigan, I switched majors from business to computer science, which I felt would be more useful for running an early-stage company. But in late 2018, at age 19, I dropped out of college for a full-time job."
"Although I returned to college in late 2019, I dropped out again in late 2020, at the age of 21, to start my company, Intros AI. Despite being diagnosed with cancer in early 2024 and having six months of chemotherapy, I pushed myself to work on the business. It was acquired in July 2025, setting me up financially after years of hard work. I don't regret leaving college to pursue my own venture, even though there were trade-offs along the way."
David Kobrosky began college in 2017 with the goal of working in startups and switched from business to computer science to prepare for founding a company. He dropped out in late 2018 for a full-time role, returned in 2019, then left again in late 2020 at age 21 to start Intros AI. He worked long hours to build the business and continued despite a blood-cancer diagnosis and six months of chemotherapy in early 2024. Intros AI was acquired in July 2025, providing financial security, and Kobrosky says he does not regret the sacrifices he made.
