Stage One Startup: Interviews With Influential Entrepreneurs & Innovative Startups

Can you believe January is already over? We loved doing our Fownders month, but now we’re back to our regular routine. As much as we’ll miss our podcasts with the folks from Fownders, this guest is exciting enough to make up for it. You may already know about Timothy Sykes, the American penny stock trader who turned his $12,000 in bar mitzvah money into well over $4 million by day-trading penny stocks. As he explains in this episode, in his senior year of high school, he turned that $12k into over $100,000. In his freshman year of college, he came close to hitting the $1 million mark. Throughout this conversation, you’ll come to understand that Timothy isn’t all about making money; he also cares about using it responsibly and generously. He’s dedicated to giving back to the world. He started his charity and has donated $1 million to building schools. So far, he’s at 35 schools, out of a goal of a whopping 1,000.
