About Todd Graves
Todd Graves is founder and CEO of fried chicken fast food chain Raising Cane's.
Graves came up with the concept for a restaurant serving only chicken finger meals while in college.
A professor gave his idea the lowest grade in the class and he couldn't get bank financing, so he worked as a boilermaker and salmon fisher to save up cash.
He launched Raising Cane's in 1996, using his savings and an SBA loan.
It's now a fast-growing, $3.7 billion (sales) business serving chicken fingers across some 800 locations in more than 40 states.
