Montreal entrepreneur Daniel Robichaud is no stranger to the game; with five startups under his belt already, the 37-year old is onto his sixth, PasswordBox. PasswordBox is the solution to a big problem for internet users: an increasing amount of passwords for various websites/accounts. PasswordBox will manage the users passwords and be encrypted by a single master password. The app will release on computers as well as Android and Apple devices. PasswordBox is not the only app of its kind, but the silver lining for the app is a proprietary one-click login engine that can automatically log you into over 90% of websites today.
The story of entrepreneur Daniel Robichaud and PasswordBox is a great example of a topic covered in my Comm 101 class earlier this week. Sauder Alumni, Cole Nakatani, spoke to us about the beauty of start-ups and how it all begins when you realize “what’s missing? or what’s bugging you?”. In the case of PasswordBox, it fills a niche role for a problem that grows along with the internet. The idea also begun from an epiphany, that no longer should internet users face the epidemic of forgetting their passwords. This reinstates the core idea that start-ups begin with a problem that needs solving.
