Reach Gen Z where
they actually care.
College Cash connects brands to motivated students through UGC campaigns that feel authentic — because students earn real college funds when they participate. Not points. Not prizes. College money.
Why It Works
Motivation that
money can't fake.
When students earn college funds for engaging with your brand, you get something most campaigns can't buy — genuine enthusiasm from an audience with real stakes in the outcome.
Authentic UGC
Students create real photo and video content about your brand — not polished ads, but genuine peer-to-peer content that Gen Z actually trusts.

Built from the problem.
Backed by the
people who get it.
College Cash started with a simple question: why does every solution to student debt wait until the debt already exists? We decided to go earlier.
The Origin
The debt problem starts
before the first loan.
Most fintech products designed for students meet them at 18 — after four years of financial habits have already formed without guidance. College Cash was built to engage earlier, with tools that actually fit how students and families live.
What began as a cashback aggregation platform evolved into something bigger: a multi-channel engagement ecosystem that serves students, parents, brands, and financial institutions — all through one platform, all reinforcing each other.
The Founder
Demetrius Curry
Demetrius built College Cash around a belief that financial institutions have been missing their best opportunity — and that the students and families who need financial guidance the most deserve tools built for them, not repurposed from the adult banking world.
Based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Demetrius brings a background spanning finance, marketing, and college planning — giving College Cash a founder who understands the full journey families face, from the first savings conversation to the last loan payment.
