Case Study: How I Got Backed By Steph Curry & Raised $150+ Million To Create A Super Savings App

Hussein, prior to becoming an entrepreneur, you worked as a Software Engineer at Bell. What attracted you to leave the corporate world and start your own company?

Yeah, first of all, growing up and going through university, I always thought I was just going to be an engineer. And I think that's an important point because a lot of people, as they're going through school, don't really know what they want to do.

I wanted to be a Microsoft engineer, but I soon found I didn't enjoy it that much. The biggest reason I did it is because I was at a big company. But I just wasn't making much impact.

I'd go in every day, write some code, and more than half the time, whatever code I wrote wouldn't even make it to a consumer. I'd spend 3 months working on some font size and color on a specific website, and it just never really went anywhere.
