Every generation produces a handful of builders who seem to be light-years ahead of their age. Cale, a 17 year old futures trader and founder of OSIS, is one of those people. He’s not just experimenting—he’s executing. And he’s doing it with the kind of clarity and conviction that most people twice his age are still trying to find.
The Start of Something Wild
When I first came across OSIS on X, I assumed it was built by a small team of developers backed by some early seed funding. Instead, I found a teen who started trading futures at 13, got into prompt engineering before most of us knew what it was, and teamed up with a 14 year old coding phenom to build a working AI-powered investment platform from scratch.
Yes, really. No hype. Just results.
What started as curiosity during a tough period in his life Cale was bedridden for two years due to a serious illness has now evolved into a fast-growing fintech product that’s pulling serious attention online and from investors.
So What Is OSIS?
At its core, OSIS is an AI investment assistant designed to make smart investing more accessible. You type in a question about a stock, crypto asset, or general financial concept and OSIS responds with real, actionable insights.
But this isn’t a ChatGPT wrapped in a finance costume. OSIS is built using a combination of Gemini Pro 2, custom prompt engineering, and a proprietary data filtering system that processes market fundamentals, sentiment analysis, and technical trends before responding. Users aren’t just getting summaries they’re getting distilled strategy and context.
The platform also includes personalities like “Warren Buffett” and “Cathie Wood” as AI personas that provide perspective, not just data. That small detail speaks volumes about Cale’s product thinking. It’s not just about functionality it’s about accessibility, personality, and trust.
A Co-Founder Who Fixed a Fatal Bug in 12 Hours
Cale initially started building OSIS solo, but the story of how he found his co-founder is just as incredible as the project itself. After posting about a problem he couldn’t solve on X, a 14-year-old named Andrew reached out. They hopped on a call, and 12 hours later, the bug was gone.
That’s when Cale knew this wasn’t just a smart kid. This was his guy.
Now, Cale handles vision, prompting, and front-facing content, while Andrew handles infrastructure, debugging, and feature builds. Together, they move fast—features ship in 48 hours, bugs are squashed in minutes, and updates roll out weekly.
The Traction Is Real
Since launch:
- OSIS has gained tens of thousands of users
- They’ve racked up over 500,000 views on X
- Four VC firms and multiple angels have already reached out for funding conversations
And they’re just getting started.
They recently added a Portfolio Builder, aimed at helping people create long-term investment portfolios without needing a financial advisor. Cale sees this as the first step in reducing dependency on traditional finance infrastructure—and he’s not wrong. It’s a powerful, affordable, and scalable feature.
The Long Game
When I asked about college, Cale didn’t hesitate.
“It’s just OSIS and trading. That’s it. If I work a job, it’s because I want to, not because I need to.”
He’s laser-focused on building the go-to AI platform for investing something people use the way they use Google for search or ChatGPT for ideas. He wants OSIS to become the name you think of when AI and finance intersect.
He also knows that social reach isn’t enough. Right now, they’re onboarding a content team that will produce 200+ videos a month across formats—shorts, reels, long-form and begin targeting the actual user base they want (not just techies on X).
The goal isn’t virality. It’s utility. And OSIS is stacking both.
What We Can Learn From Cale
Cale isn’t the first person to build an AI tool. But what sets him apart is his mindset:
- Learn what you don’t know.
- Move fast and fix things.
- Don’t wait for permission.
- Don’t romanticize the startup journey—just build.
For other young founders reading this: Cale’s story isn’t about having money, connections, or a team of 10. It’s about having a clear vision and being relentless about execution. Learn to prompt. Learn to ship. Learn to fix what breaks.
It’s that simple.
Final Thoughts
Cale and his team are proof that the next generation of entrepreneurs isn’t waiting for the world to give them a shot they’re taking it.
And if the first version of OSIS already looks this strong, just wait until they’ve had a year in the game. Something tells me the next time we check in, they won’t just be in the race they’ll be leading it.
