Make Sense is a weekly series dedicated to talking about startup stories from the past, hysterical or mind-numbing blunders, how to do better. We also discuss how tech impacts us and how we can raise the bar when it comes to the ethics, morals, and standards in the tech industry.
Daricus, CEO of StoreCash, is a serial entrepreneur who started his first business at age 12 and earned $3,800 per summer in order to financially help his military mom compensate for his father’s drug addiction. At 14 years old, he started a hot dog cart that generated $6,000 on weekends, and in college, started an online business that went from $25,000 to a multi-million dollar business featured on Steve Harvey show, Kiplinger Magazine, and several other news outlets. Seeking funding and an expansion of the business, Daricus drove from Pennsylvania to Silicon Valley where he landed jobs at Apple, Facebook and Google and ultimately founded StoreCash, the Venmo for the unbanked.
