In a world where tech innovation often starts in college dorms or corporate labs, Toby Brown’s story stands out—because it started in a childhood bedroom. At just 7 years old, Toby built his first computer. By 17, he secured $1 million in funding for his AI startup, Beem.
Growing up in London, Toby was drawn to technology early. While other kids played games, Toby was teaching himself to code, tinker with hardware, and build software. What began as a hobby soon turned into a purpose. Toby envisioned tools that would make digital communication more interactive and human.
That idea evolved into Beem—an AI-powered platform that lets people project realistic 3D holograms and interact virtually like never before. His tech caught the attention of major investors, including those in Silicon Valley, the world’s most competitive tech scene.
Beem’s vision was futuristic but timely. With the rise of remote work and digital engagement, Toby’s idea offered a fresh take on communication. Investors didn’t just see a smart teen—they saw a visionary leader. His pitch was sharp, the product worked, and the potential was massive.
Now with $1 million in backing, Toby is building a team and scaling his technology. From childhood curiosity to global startup, his journey is proof that age doesn’t define innovation. All it takes is vision, passion, and the courage to start early.
