Zach Yadegari is an 18-year-old high school senior of Long Island, NY who has founded a calorie-counting app that is worth tens of millions of dollars, but that was not enough to gain access to Ivy League schools … and now he goes everything LeBron James By bringing his talents to South Beach.
The entrepreneur accompanied us on Friday at “TMZ Live” and we asked him how he was rejected in the world of top universities such as Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Princeton and Yale.
Zach was still in high school when he rolled Cal Ai, an app that uses artificial intelligence to help people count calories … All they have to do is take a picture of their food and the app tells them how many calories are on their plate.
Despite 5 million downloads, a team of 17 employees extended to 4 continents, and the annual income that were projected on $ 30 million … Zach tells us why he thinks that university admission officials were not impressed, and why the admission process did not affect young entrepreneurs.
Zach was eventually accepted at the University of Miami … and he tells us why he wants to go to university, even though he is already a successful businessman.
