"Every app or game I've built has been to solve a problem in my own life. I was a skinny kid growing up and tried going to the gym to put on weight, but learned very quickly that most results come from diet. My cofounders and I set out to build a calorie-tracking app that integrates AI technology. Our app really took off over the next year and a half, bringing us to now, where we are a 30-person team and generating around $30 million in annual revenue."
"I sold my first app at 16 years old for almost $100,000. It was called Totally Science, an unblocked gaming website that allowed students to play games in school. It earned me thousands a year for two years through Google AdSense before I sold it. My parents put me in a coding camp when I was 7. I didn't learn that much, but it sparked my interest and showed me what was possible. YouTube taught me the rest. I would spend hours a day watching people program different video games."
Zach Yadegari cofounded Cal AI, an AI-powered calorie-tracking and food-tracking app based in Miami that now supports a 30-person team and roughly $30 million in annual revenue. Yadegari began coding after attending a coding camp at age seven and taught himself further skills through YouTube. He sold his first app, an unblocked gaming site called Totally Science, at 16 for nearly $100,000 and used proceeds to help fund later development. The app originated from a personal need to gain weight and the realization that diet drives results, prompting development of AI-integrated nutrition tools.
