Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Steve Jobs inspires me most. Not just because he built iconic products, but because he cared deeply about simplicity, clarity, and making technology feel human. That mindset stays with me at Cube. I want to build something that solves a real problem, feels intuitive, and changes how people move through everyday life, especially around money.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by the people we’re building for. When someone is trying to cover rent, fix a car, publish a book, or move forward on something important without falling into debt, that keeps me going. I’m also motivated by progress, seeing an idea become a real product, watching users trust it, and knowing we’re building something that can genuinely change lives.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d use the $25,000 to strengthen Cube’s product and growth engine. That means improving onboarding, refining the user experience, expanding content and community-driven acquisition, and supporting the infrastructure that helps savings circles run smoothly and securely. The goal would be simple: help more people access lump sums without debt and turn early traction into repeatable growth.
