Alexander Wang

A truly inspiring Entrepreneur of this generation is 28yo Alexander Wang. Alexander is a co-founder and CEO of the artificial intelligence company Scale AI. This creation has led him to being the youngest billionaire ever at the age of 25. In just 5 years, Wang went from being a college dropout to the CEO and co-founder of one of the most influential companies of this generation. This business is based in California and provides software and labor to large software companies.

Alexander Wang is of Chinese heritage and was born in New Mexico. He was set on a path for greatness as his parents were both physicists, leading Wang towards a path of innovation and success. Alexander attended MIT for just one year wear he studied mathematics and computer science before dropping out and pursuing his entrepreneurial journey teaming with Lucy Guo to create Scale AI.

The truly innovative aspect Wang has pursued is not building the AI, but creating software and providing data labels for large AI companies. In doing this, his software trains these AI’s in order that they becomes more accurate and overall more advanced. There are more than enough artificial intelligence companies out there, but Wang saw the need of providing value to current companies through his AI training software.

Alexander Wang shows what it means for the entrepreneur to think outside the box and not pursue an overly saturated market. If he had gone for the status quo and just tried to make another AI, he would have not been nearly as profitable, if profitable at all. By pursuing the actual software that trains AI, he has not only become innovative, but has steered the whole artificial intelligence industry towards innovation and accuracy.

    I think it is very brave of Wang to drop out of college, especially a college with the prestige of MIT because he was so confident in his software making a difference in the world. Clearly it paid off for him, and inspires me to be more confident about whatever my ideas might be.
