Induced AI: Know how a 19-year-old Indian raised $2.3 million from the inventor of ChatGPT

Sam Altman of OpenAI was persuaded to contribute millions of dollars to the venture by two teenage Indians. One of the two young founders of Induced AI, Aryan Sharma, talked about how he got in touch with an investor like Altman and his early interest in AI and coding.

Aryan Sharma disclosed in an Overpowered podcast that he initially made tech relationships through cold outreach. He said that when he was 14 years old, he started sending emails to well-known people asking for advice. Some of those individuals, according to Sharma, even requested that he cease emailing them.

He disclosed that he and Ayush Pathak, the co-founder of Induced AI, traveled to San Francisco on vacation and saved money. After that, they lived with friends and attended gatherings where they saw others who were like to Altman. Aryan says he finally got to meet Altman after the two spent a lot of time attempting to network and connect with key figures in the AI community.
