Oliver Edholm is a teenage entrepreneur shaking up the world of AI & ecommerce!
Oliver launched the ecommerce SaaS startup "Depict" - funded by Northzone & EQT - after a spell at Klarna
Depict uses AI to deliver Amazon-quality product recommendations for any e-commerce store enabling small & medium-sized retailers to compete on a level playing field with their largest competitors.
Oliver explains how he:
- dropped out of school after having his worldview transformed by Nick Bostrom's book “Super Intelligence”
- became the youngest AI researcher in the world at age 15!
- 1st met his co-founder Anton, & seeded the idea for Depict, at “Effective Altruism”
- began his entrepreneurial journey, despite a lack of retail relationships or startup experience, at the start of the covid pandemic & joined Y Combinator
He outlined some key Y Combinator learnings including aim for 100% clarity - even if you're only 80% accurate - in all your communications
And he explained how meditation can "change the operating system of your mind" - could meditation be a tool that would help other entrepreneurs handle their scale-up challenges more effectively?
