About
I'm a serial social entrepreneur with a passion for using technology and business to build a better world, and supporting others to do likewise.
I am co-founder and CEO of StartSomeGood, an innovation agency and global social enterprise ecosystem builder. For over a decade, we have been supporting emerging social entrepreneurs around the world to design, test, launch, and grow social impact projects that increase the pace of innovation for social change. We run the StartSomeGood.com crowdfunding platform, the Good Hustle social enterprise design program, and host the StartSomeGood Network community, as well as designing and delivering innovation, capacity-building, and funding programs for partners across business, foundations, and governments.
I am also a co-founder of LendForGood, a platform that connects social enterprises with impact investors, and a non-executive director of the Centre for Social Impact, Australia's leading social impact research and teaching organisation.
I am a leading speaker and advocate for social enterprise and a teacher of community-building and fundraising skills. I have shared my insights and expertise at events and workshops around the world, including SXSW, SOCAP, The Social Enterprise World Forum, and many more.
