17 yr old Viraj Chhajed was recently offered a funding of >$1 million for his AI based video generating platform ‘Basch’. This happened when he wasn’t really looking for it. More than 15 venture capitalists have shown interest in his product so far.
Wonder what gave Viraj this visibility amidst the storm of startups in India? #StartupTwitter and #BuildInPublic. Twitter is the new breeding ground for several other teens like Viraj.
Communities such as #StartupTwitter allow like minded people to connect while others allow students to find internships or even freelance gigs. Apoorva Mittal digs deep into this Twitter trend in her article in Economic Times.
