MIT Dropout Co-Founds $300M AI Startup

Selin Kocalar is a 21-year-old who dropped out of MIT to start a company called Delve with her classmate Karun Kaushik.

They both were interested in AI and health tech.

In just two years, their company became worth $300 million.

Selin gave an interview where she shared some advice for people who want to be successful.

She said that just working hard is not enough; you need to make sure you're working on the right things.

She compared it to climbing a tree.

If you climb the wrong tree, you might reach the top but realize there was a taller tree you could have climbed.

She also suggested thinking about the future and doing things differently from others to find success.

Before starting Delve, Selin was involved in research.

Delve helps companies follow rules automatically using AI, which saves a lot of time.
