3 young entrepreneurs become billionaires at 22

Brendan Foody, Adarsh Hiremath, and Surya Midha, three young entrepreneurs who have been friends since high school, have achieved great success in the tech world with their artificial intelligence company called "Mercor." These young people, who are only 22 years old, have taken the "youngest billionaire" title from Mark Zuckerberg.

The young men, who were pursuing their university education at prestigious schools such as Harvard, Stanford, and Georgetown, decided to drop out and focus entirely on their project after winning the Thiel Fellowship, a grant for entrepreneurs founded by Peter Thiel. This bold step propelled them into the billionaires' club.

Mercor aims to find the most suitable employees for companies and manage interview processes using artificial intelligence technology. The company achieved great success in a short time, reaching a valuation of billions of dollars. Each of them holds approximately a 22% stake in the company, which brings their personal wealth to over 2 billion dollars.

Mercor's platform evaluates candidates with artificial intelligence models and provides accurate matches, especially in fields such as software engineering. It is stated that the company generates hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue and has a highly profitable structure.

The story of these young entrepreneurs stands out as an important example showing that the balance of power in the technology world is shifting from software to artificial intelligence.
