I had to make some money to help out my mom and sister at the time.

So I started going door to door in my neighborhood, selling window cleaning services of all things, because at 14 years old, where else are you going to get a job and make money?

Uh, ended up actually being quite decent at it, brought, you know, my friends along and they brought theirs.

And before we knew it, you know, we had this team of 50, 60, really, really hardworking, dedicated, uh, like-minded individuals at a young age.

And so we built this business throughout high school, very early days of university, eventually sold that business.

And we'll keep that private for now.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

You know, we were doing the same thing for seven years and felt that we learned everything that we, you know, we wanted to at the time.

The initial motivation behind it was certainly monetary simply for the fact that I wanted to help my family out.
