Zach Yadegari of Cal AI to Share Insights on Viral Growth Strategy at TechCrunch Disrupt
Zach Yadegari, co-founder of Cal AI and former high school entrepreneur, will discuss the app's viral growth strategy during a fireside chat at TechCrunch Disrupt in October. Before turning 20, he built Cal AI into an AI-powered nutrition app with over 15 million downloads and $30 million annual revenue before its acquisition by MyFitnessPal in December 2025. Yadegari will share insights on how the company leveraged viral attention to scale rapidly while maintaining product quality. The session is part of a broader event featuring hundreds of sessions, speakers, and networking opportunities for founders and tech leaders. Tickets are available with discounts through late September. The acquisition by MyFitnessPal allowed Cal AI to remain as a standalone app under Yadegari's leadership. His experience offers valuable lessons on turning viral growth into sustainable business success in competitive markets.
