Since high school, Bill has been collecting and managing money for various activities, clubs and organizations. In all of these groups, more time was spent collecting, tracking and managing money than almost anything else.
About a year after graduating, Bill was trying to collect money to rent a vacation ski house with friends and had to open a separate bank account just to hold the money. He had finally had enough. He decided to build WePay – the easiest way for groups to collect, manage, and spend money.
WePay is a Y-Combinator startup based in California, with 10 employees and over $9M in venture captial funding.
