Ex-Google Employees Pivot to AI

Ex-Google Employees Pivot to AI

Two former Google employees, Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe, were running a successful startup called Create.

This startup connected clients with freelance software developers and was making good money.

However, when ChatGPT came out in late 2022, they realized that AI could do a lot of the coding work that their developers were doing.

So, they decided to change their business.

They shut down Create and started a new company called Anything.

This new company uses AI to help people build apps and websites without needing to know how to code.

Their new product was a big success, and they now have a company worth $100 million.

They had to make some tough decisions, but it all worked out in the end.
