About Zach Yadegari
Zach Yadegari, a 17-year-old tech prodigy and serial entrepreneur, has already made impressive strides in the world of startups. He began coding at just seven years old, driven by an early passion for technology and problem-solving. By the age of 14, he had launched an unblocked gaming website that rapidly attracted 5 million users, which he later sold for a six-figure sum at 16. Now, Zach is the Co-Founder and CEO of Cal AI, an AI-powered calorie-tracking app that's generating $13 million in annual recurring revenue within just six months of its launch. Despite balancing the demands of high school, Yadegari continues to lead his growing team of 17 employees, all while exploring ways to expand the app’s demographic reach and enhance its AI capabilities. His remarkable journey has been featured in Forbes, where he’s recognized for disrupting the health and fitness tech space with innovative AI solutions.
