Tejas walks through his full founder journey, from teaching himself to code as a teenager to landing a job in Silicon Valley at 16, to building HighTouch, a company transforming how businesses use data and AI.
You’ll hear how he:
Got hired without revealing his age
Found his first customers through cold outreach and online communities
Pivoted after losing everything
Built a product the market started pulling, not pushing
Scaled from 3 founders to 350+ employees
This is a real look at what building a company looks like, messy, unpredictable, and driven by persistence.If you’re a founder or thinking about starting, this episode will change how you see the journey.
