Three 22-Year-Olds Just Became Billionaires With $10B AI Startup — Built in Two Years
Three high school debate friends just became the world's youngest self-made billionaires. Brendan Foody, Adarsh Hiremath, and Surya Midha founded Mercor in 2023 — an AI recruiting platform matching contractors with OpenAI and other labs. Two years later, they raised $350M at $10B valuation, making them billionaires at 22. They hit $500M annual revenue and are all Thiel Fellows who dropped out of college. Translation: while grads scramble for jobs, three dropouts built a billion-dollar company faster than finishing a degree.
Why it matters for you: While everyone debates whether AI is a threat, three 22-year-olds just proved it's the biggest wealth creation opportunity in history. Start small, test fast, scale what works. Build micro-tools, launch AI communities, create niche products. Mercor founders prove execution beats credentials. Show your audience the barrier isn't skill or age — it's shipping. The time to build is now, not after perfecting the idea.
Key Takeaways:
- $10B in two years: High school friends built billion-dollar company faster than college degree 
- Dropped out and shipped: All three left college, focused on execution over credentials 
- Started simple, pivoted: Began with recruiting platform, found bigger opportunity in data labeling

AI SPOTLIGHT
1X NEO: The $20K Robot That Learns From You
California-based robotics company 1X just opened pre-orders for NEO, a humanoid home robot built to handle daily chores like turning off lights or fetching items. Early models rely on remote human operators who “teach” NEO how to perform tasks through its cameras — meaning buyers must be comfortable with limited human oversight at first. Over time, NEO’s AI will learn from real homes to operate independently, giving users a glimpse of what personal robotics will soon look like.
Key Takeaways
- NEO is a $20K humanoid robot designed for home chores and assistance. 
- Human teleoperators help train its AI through real-world use. 
- Buyers can control privacy settings and limit camera access. 
My Take:
NEO shows how quickly robotics is moving from lab to living room. It’s still early, but a robot that learns by living alongside you could mark the true beginning of personal AI assistants in the real world.
