I raised $3 million for my AI startup as a full-time Yale student. Here's how I manage my time.

"People are used to only focusing on one objective at a time. We're told you can drop out of school to start a company early, or you can graduate, work in consulting or investment banking for a while, and do it later. The middle ground is possible, too. While at college, I co-founded Series, an AI social networking platform that matches people over iMessage. We've secured $3.1 million in pre-seed funding, and I'm still a student at Yale."

"In eighth grade, I built a walking stick for the blind, using ultrasonic sensors and an Arduino microprocessor. I 3D printed the base using Fusion 360 and attached motorized wheels and a vibration motor module. Nowadays, I'd say I'm pretty proficient with C, Python, and Swift, which I mainly learned during my summer as a senior in high school. I was also involved in normal extracurricular activities."

Nathaneo Johnson co-founded Series, an AI-powered social network that matches people over iMessage, while enrolled at Yale. Series secured $3.1 million in pre-seed funding and is preparing for a Series A round as Johnson completes his senior year. Johnson began coding in seventh grade, built robotics and assistive devices in middle school, and learned C, Python, and Swift during high school. He balanced entrepreneurship with academics and extracurriculars, including varsity basketball and valedictorian honors, and relied on long workdays and delegation to manage school and startup responsibilities.
