How it started

Zach started coding at seven, shipped his first app at 12 and sold a 5M-user company at 16; Blake built AI apps while at Tulane, and the two teamed up on Cal AI with Henry (CTO) and Jake Castillo (CMO/COO). Solving their own problem made product and marketing intuitive; they made $30K in month one, over $100K in month two and $1M/month within eight months. After selling Cal AI, they now run 10x Studio in NYC and are building 10x App Builder, described as 'Shopify for apps'.
