Tucker is the CEO and co-founder of Quo Finance. Growing up in a household burdened with medical debt, he saw firsthand the hardships that the American credit system causes and the real impact that misaligned incentives have on everyday people. While attending Stanford University, where he received a B.S. in Computer Science, Haas started two startups and worked at Facebook in production engineering. However, his passion for solving the economic inequality he saw growing up pushed him to start Quo and reshape credit in America.
Frederick Daso: When did you first gain interest in being a founder?
Tucker Haas: From selling Yu-Gi-Oh cards in elementary school to scripting for online games in middle school and developing freelance mobile apps in high school, I have always had a very entrepreneurial spirit. From my earliest days, I have talked about taking ideas and turning them into businesses, no matter how good or bad those ideas were. It helped tremendously that my parents, as small business owners themselves, were always very encouraging of my efforts.
Daso: What were the essential experiences that helped you be in the position you are today?
