Description: For all who dare to go off the beaten track this is the inspirational power - packed playbook for transforming your life and your world from a young Black social entrepreneur whose dorm - room tech startup Scholly has helped millions pay for college and access unprecedented opportunity. Christopher Gray grew up in deep poverty in Birmingham Alabama. An academic star he had every qualification for attending a top college except for the financial means. Desperate Gray headed off the beaten path applying for every scholarship he could find. His hustle resulted in awards of 1.3 million dollars and inspired him to create a startup called Scholly an app that matches college applicants with millions of dollars in scholarships that often go unclaimed. As a senior at Drexel University Gray appeared on Shark Tank and in the most heated fight in the show's history was challenged on whether his app was a charity or a profitable business. Both he insisted proposing a new paradigm for social entrepreneurship and netting deals from Lori Greiner and Daymond John. At the time Scholly had 90,000 users. Today the app has 4 million subscribers who have won scholarships totaling more than $100 million. Meanwhile Gray has emerged as a tech startup superhero now tackling the crisis of student debt with innovative unrivaled strategies. Gray's story is proof that when you create opportunities for others you enrich the marketplace for yourself too. He shows us we can carve out new paths to better days and leave trails for others.
