Founders Skip Graduation for Startup Accelerator
- •Founders James Yang and Anish Paleja skipped high school graduation for an accelerator program.
- •Their startup, Brevitas, aims to improve token efficiency and reduce costs in multi-agent AI systems.
- •The pair claims to have completed six months of development progress in under one week.
James Yang and Anish Paleja, two 18-year-old founders from Ontario, Canada, skipped their high school graduation to participate in the Founders Inc. Off Season II accelerator in San Francisco. The pair first met at a Major League Hacking event at age 15 and have since transitioned from learning to code to launching their startup, Brevitas.
At Brevitas, Yang and Paleja focus on improving token efficiency for multi-agent systems, aiming to reduce costs associated with AI workflows. According to Yang, current systems often suffer from waste during communications between agents or between humans and agents. Since joining the accelerator six days ago, the founders claim to have achieved six months' worth of development progress. The duo remains active in the hackathon circuit, having attended 14 and 36 events respectively in the last year.
