Watch how Lisa and Scott Wallace built I'm The Chef Too! with PayPal Open

What started as a teaching method developed in a home kitchen is now a thriving Houston-based culinary education brand. PayPal Open helped Lisa and Scott Wallace get there.

Lisa Wallace is a teacher at heart. When her son struggled with learning difficulties, she started building lessons into kitchen projects. Recipes incorporated learning geology through cupcake geodes, chemistry through erupting volcano cakes, or even exploring outer space while making galaxy donuts. Her son immediately connected with the material in ways he hadn't in the classroom.

I'm The Chef Too! grew quickly from those early home kitchen classes into a full culinary education and product brand. As demand grew, so did the need for capital.1 Planning inventory months ahead required funding that could move fast.2 Lisa turned to PayPal Open solutions to help fill the gap.

For Lisa and Scott, having access to capital and a convenient way to manage their expenses changed more than the business’ footprint. "I didn't have to worry about how I was going to bring my vision to life. It really opened up my brainpower to focus on what I love to do, and that's to create."
