Even back in university, I noticed how much younger people (17 or 18 years old) were always jumping into some kind of trendy business model or income stream that happened to be booming at the time.
First, it was dropshipping and flipping items.
Then came NFTs and everything happening in the crypto space.
Now everyone seems obsessed with quick vibecoded AI solutions and investment apartments.
My co-founder and I are building MVP.ai, emotionally intelligent AI companions that people can learn from (from skills to studying), regulate and process their emotions (thus increasing emotional IQ), talk with, and overall, grow together in an immersive bonding experience.
But wait... building AI companions, that seems unethical? Dangerous, right?
People love to obsess over age. Every time a teenager ships something, the headline is: Look, they re only 17! It s become a whole genre of founder story.

I feel like Im using Youtube more than anything else every single day. I want to learn some "hidden gems" channels, cause I feel I seen it all. Ideally channels around solopreneurship/indiehackers, 0$ marketing strategies, how-to-sell stuff fast, philosophy and economics. Here are my GO-TO channels that I watch almost daily:
@Raoul Pal the Journey man (Macro investing in crypto)
@Money ZG (macro investing in crypto)
@Pursuit of Wonder (interesting concepts around societal psychology & philosophy)
@Fireship - Tech edgelord (lol)
@Greg Isenberg (Solopreneurship)
@Starter Story (Solopreneurship, How to build and market apps)
