Lucy Guo is a girl who has proved not only to herself but to the whole world that if you have faith in yourself then the whole world accepts you.
Lucy Guo's worth of 1.25 billion USD does not seem to match her nature. Her nature does not motivate her to stay at a place where she cannot see a way to fulfill her desires as quickly as possible.
Thiel Fellowship is a program that not everyone gets a chance to get, and Lucy dropped out from that as well. This is a surprising thing. This decision of Lucy made her true nature clear in front of everyone.
Due to this, she was looked at with suspicion, but this became the reason for her success today. The reason for leaving this program is considered to be the money she received from it.
Lucy Guo has been very talented in computer science since the beginning. Her exposure has been very good in AI as well, on which she showed her courage and decided to leave the fellowship and start her career on the basis of her coding skills.
In 2016, Lucy co-founded Scale AI whose work is to train AI models and do data annotation. As a CTO, Guo develops such technology whose work is to automate labeling work. This technology reduces processing time by up to 70% due to which this startup of Guo became famous all over the USA. OpenAI and the US defense department also showed their attraction towards it in the form of homes.
Under the supervision of Guo, Scale AI grew very fast by 2018, and its valuation crossed 1 billion USD. Due to this, Guo will have a discussion with the CEO of Scale AI regarding future strategy and the work of Guo suddenly gets merged with Scale AI.
Guo had a 5% share in the company which he kept with himself whose value was 365 million USD because the total valuation of the company was 7.3 billion USD.
After working on Scale AI, Guo used another platform by the name of Pass which is a creator economy platform where any creator can earn money through subscription or NFT.
Pass gathered 5 lakh creators and 10 million users by 2023, which also received funding of up to 50 million USD, in which his share is 40%. Even after so much success, Guo had to face disappointment in which he was accused of being an easy money maker by being dependent on his AI.
Guo's wealth has become as much as it is today due to his life decisions like 5% share in Scale AI, 40% share in Pass, his own VC firm, investing in other startups from his backend capital.
