From high school dropout to $1B AI founder, Samir Vasavada proves unconventional paths can drive extraordinary success. At 16, he left school, teaching himself coding, machine learning, and business strategy. His first startup struggled as AI tech wasn’t ready, but he treated failures as lessons, not defeats. Consulting for investment banks revealed that independent financial advisors lacked modern tools despite managing trillions. Co-founding Vise, he built AI to create personalized portfolios, saving advisors time and boosting client trust. Relentless focus on user feedback, timing, and solving real problems fueled rapid growth to unicorn status. Samir’s journey shows that vision, grit, and learning matter more than credentials. For aspiring founders, it’s proof you don’t need a traditional path—just the courage to start, adapt, and solve problems that matter. The next billion-dollar idea could come from anyone willing to see opportunities differently and pursue them fearlessly.
