The initial goal was to “simply streamline the process and design a social savings platform that made it easier than ever for friends and relatives to help overburdened parents save for a child’s college education.”
He developed GiftofCollege.com with the aim of establishing the company as the leading gifting platform for college savings contributions and student loan payments.
