PHOENIX -
Valley siblings launched a password storing website with the help of eccentric billionaire Sir Richard Branson.
Brother and sister duo, Stacey and Scott Ferreira, are from Scottsdale and are the founders of MySocialCloud.com.
My
Social Cloud safely stores all usernames and passwords to the sites you visit
most.
Stacey saw the following tweet by Richard Branson last year:

Afterward, she was determined to get her and her brother to the event to meet and mingle with Branson. Their parents spotted them the cash and the Ferreira's met Branson and eventually introduced them to his friend Jerry Murcck of Insight Venture Partners.
A few months later, My Social Cloud got what they were hoping for: about $1 million in funding.
FOX 10's Dan Spindle talked with the Ferreira's about their success.
