🤖 12-Year-Old Launches AI Startup with Claude

Twelve-year-old entrepreneur Mana Jumpala created an AI assistant bot that helps small businesses build long-term customer relationships. The service, developed using Claude, passed initial testing successfully.

Mana plans to apply to Y Combinator and a16z accelerators within two years and aims to raise venture funding afterward. Despite online interest, her age creates a barrier in face-to-face pitches where she is often not taken seriously.
