When San Jose State University lost the transcripts Zain needed to send to Harvard for graduate school, he came up with an idea to solve the problem, which eventually led him to start a successful company with millions in revenue.
Our innovator today is Zain Zaidi, who started his business, TransCrypts, at the age of 21 with a dream to revolutionize the way personal records are managed.
"It's extremely difficult. You know, I was a college student. I didn't know anything about building a company or doing enterprise sales," said Zain. "You might make mistakes, which is OK, but the next opportunity you get, can you fix that mistake and do a little better?"
With the spirit of never giving up, Zain managed to convince investors like Mark Cuban and secure millions in funding.
