Hi, my name is Yutish Goel, and I’m an 18-year-old entrepreneur building StarCy, an AI startup that I believe can change the world. But to take it to the next level, I need your help.
The Hustler in Me Was Born Early
As a child, I wasn’t the kid who played with toys—I was the kid who took them apart and built something new. I used to sell massages to my parents and relatives for money and create things out of cardboard, broken toys, and whatever I could find. Business was in my blood, even before I knew what entrepreneurship meant.
School? It wasn’t for me. My teachers always said, “If you put your mind into something, you’ll be the best at it.” But I just couldn’t put my mind into textbooks—I was too busy figuring out how to make money and build things.
The Toughest Years of My Life
At 13, my parents divorced. It shattered me, splitting my world into two. At 15, my father passed away from cancer. That was the darkest moment of my life. I felt lost, like a part of me had disappeared.
But slowly and surely, I found God in books. I started reading—a lot. I read self-help books, business books, and anything that could help me grow. I also started meditating every single day, and that decision changed my life. Meditation and reading pulled me out of that dark path, giving me clarity, strength, and purpose.
Beyond that, I became physically active—running, exercising, and staying disciplined. These habits transformed me, making me stronger mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Choosing My Own Path
By the time I took my 10th-grade board exams, I already knew that school wasn’t my future. I copied my way through because, instead of studying, I was obsessed with making money and creating something real.
I passed with good marks, but I knew I’d never be a CA, a CS, or anything that would trap me in a conventional life. I didn’t like the way people around me lived—I wanted something bigger.
So, I dropped out after 11th grade. It was a scary, but thrilling decision. I started multiple online businesses, made mistakes, learned, failed, and tried again. At 18, I made my first couple of hundred dollars online—and the first thing I did? I bought my mom a diamond pendant. That moment was my first glimpse of light after years of darkness.
Why I Built StarCy
Four months ago, I started working on StarCy—originally as a product for myself. But when I saw my friends and others love it, need it, and want it, I knew I had to build it into something bigger.
StarCy is now turning into something much bigger than me. But to take it to the next level, I need to hire top coders, technical experts, and marketing talent. That’s where this crowdfunding campaign comes in.
Why Your Support Matters
I’m asking for $25,000 to build StarCy v2—the next evolution of the product. Your support will help me bring together a top-tier team and take this startup from an idea to a reality that changes the world.
Dropping out of college might seem like a reckless choice, but to me, it’s proof of my commitment. I’m all in on this company. I’m giving everything I have to make StarCy a success.
If my story resonates with you, if you believe in backing bold ideas and relentless entrepreneurs, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support.
