"During my freshman year of high school, I was in computer science, and I realized students spent too much time debugging code in class. I wondered, why isn't there a Grammarly for programmers that automatically fixes coding mistakes?"
"I spent a lot of time trying to figure out machine learning, how we could have code fix itself, and how to automate an entire process. It took me almost a year, but I got it to work in a prototype."
"To start an AI company at 17, the biggest step I took was writing emails. I realized you can email anyone by Googling their email address. I emailed CEOs, startup founders, AI researchers, and venture capitalists."
Ishraq Khan moved to the US from Bangladesh and discovered programming through YouTube tutorials during high school. Recognizing that students spent excessive time debugging code, he conceptualized an automated solution similar to Grammarly for programmers. After nearly a year of learning machine learning and developing a prototype, he launched his company. By senior year, venture capitalists expressed interest, prompting Khan to expand his vision into Kodezi. He prioritized direct outreach by emailing CEOs, founders, and investors to build connections. At 22, Khan operates Kodezi full-time, having secured $2 million in funding to revolutionize code maintenance through AI automation.
