who has given $31,500 in grants while earning $0
I started my own journey when I was 16 years old. Back then, I was trying to build a deepfake detection site but couldn’t afford it because I didn’t have enough money or support even though my full code and everything was ready but because of middle class i had to stop that.
Today, I own two startups, one of which is an organization. Till Now, I’ve given $31,500 in resource grants via ConquerortheCrown to help others bring their ideas to life. I do know everyone is not a born rich but these are the same people who have the calliber to do something great in their life.
I understand how challenging it can be to build something meaningful, especially when the focus shifts from personal success to helping others.
Yeah one more things i am often teased by my friend for not driving an BMW but its worth it because when i granted my first resource, the feeling was a lot more than great.

Actually I own a organization that provides resources and grants to people who want to do something big instead of going to college or doing a job.
Its ConquerortheCrown, you can visit its website to check if i am telling the truth or not. www.conquerorthecrown.com

Yo, big ups on starting your own org to help peeps take the road less traveled instead of the typical college/job grind! Checked out your site - seems legit. Curious, what inspired you to do this at 18? And how's it going so far connecting with young folks looking to make moves outside the system? Always stoked to see the next gen charting their own course and supporting each other along the way. Keep crushin' it! 🙌
Choosing to give so much back this early while earning $0 takes real belief in what you're building.
@justin__west I am only 18, currently I don't have any big responsibility that's why I can focus on building value rather than money
Abhinav, that's incredible for something just 18. Prioritizing grants and focusing on impact at this stage says so much about your drive.
It's rare to see this kind of generosity, especially at 18. I can imagine how much you're learning from balancing impact with your own growth.
The way you've focused on impact over earnings at such a young age is inspiring. You're setting an example for how founders can build with purpose.

Supporting others so generously while building your own path is inspiring. It feels like you're playing the long game for something much bigger.
@lucy___howard yeah, you are actually the first one to notice it that quickly.
because I have a whole lot of time with me, I can build a legacy.
