14-year-old intern cold-messaged a startup on Reddit and built a ChatGPT-powered Instagram funnel in 2 days

The founder of job-search startup Dreamwork shares how a 14-year-old reached out via Reddit after a viral post and was hired as an intern.
Within two days, the teen used ChatGPT to identify the top 10 hiring pain points, proposed an Instagram content funnel around them, and plans to run AI-generated carousels. His dad joined the Google Meet to confirm it was legitimate. The founder calls AI a 'great equalizer' and wonders how many candidates with potential get overlooked because we read work history better than potential.
