Dhruv Amin, co-founder of the AI startup Anything, has transitioned from a profitable venture to a company now valued at $100 million. This shift came after Amin and co-founder Marcus Lowe, both 33, decided to pivot from their original business, which generated $2 million annually, to focus on artificial intelligence.
Initially named Create, their startup connected freelance engineers with startups using AI tools. Following the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, Amin reassessed the relevance of human software developers in the evolving landscape of AI technology. By early 2023, they made the strategic decision to close Create and focus on developing Anything.
Amin, an Indian-origin entrepreneur with a strong educational background from Stanford University, began his entrepreneurial journey in 2018. His previous roles included positions at Google and YouTube, where he gained valuable experience before venturing into startup creation.
