He also helps 20,000 college students generate and get access to over a million dollars of scholarship revenue.
That's what they paid out last year alone.
Processing over 150,000 signups per month right now.
They got a robust engine.
We're thrilled, obviously, that he used FounderPath for some non-dilutive capital.
He's grown, totally bootstrapped, to over $6 million of revenue, up from $3 million back in 2022.
Hey folks, my guest today is David Abakhnikov.
He is building ScholarshipOwl.com, which helps connect consumer brands to Gen Z. He's got over two decades in tech, including roles as R&D manager and engineering at Google and Waze.
And he specializes in bootstrapping companies and excels as a remote team expert.
He travels a lot.
He's got a passion for data matching algorithms and AI development long before it was mainstream, which complements his keen interest in Gen Z and content creation.
David, you ready to take us to the top?
Yeah, nice.
All right.
You have to back that statement up.
So you say you were in AI long before it was mainstream.
Were you doing any sort of AI stuff at Google or Waze back in the day?
Now, if you guys listened to my last interview with David, which is all the way back in 2021, you will know that Scholarship Owl is helping folks.
So kids that are maybe juniors, seniors in high school looking to go into college, it helps you quickly apply for different scholarships.
But he's built a massive engine where there's tens of thousands of students doing this.
