Successful entrepreneurship as being what a company contributes to society alongside the profits it makes. Success is when both contribution and profit are in the positive. I work with organisations that have scope across Africa, and the power to deliver powerful positive change. My focus is on crowdsourcing and social-financing. In 2014 I co-founded, thundafund.com, South Africa's most successful Rewards-based crowdfunding platform, focusing on entrepreneurial ideas. In 2015 I took on the reins for the social funding platform - Backabuddy and co-founded the BackaBuddy Foundation. We have grown it into Africa’s leading donations platform for individuals.Technological innovation is driving social behavioural change and our platforms are playing a part is nudging that change for positive impact.I regularly speak on disruptive financial instruments, entrepreneurship and social innovation. My previous speaking engagements have included: - World Economic Forum-Davos, - World Economic Forum-Dalian, China, - Global Competitiveness Forum-Saudi Arabia,- Numerous local conference/lecture presentations in South Africa.

FounderThundafund.Com 2012 - PresentSouth AfricaBased on the phenomenally successful crowdfunding model that has experienced extraordinary uptake in the Americas and Europe, Thundafund.com is a unique online channel through which people with great ideas can access capital, establish an initial market for their products/services and receive business/mentorship support. Thundafund.com initially focuses on projects with social, environmental or creative focus, widening this circle of impact as it grows.At it’s core, an online/mobile platform, Thundafund.com, allows a large number of people to each invest small amounts into a project or idea. They are paid back with an ‘in-kind’ dividend produced through the project itself. These small amounts soon add up to the capital required, simply due to the Crowd factor. In essence, the project creators, with their great idea, sell it before producing it.Thundafund.com will be a significant drive of new enterprise development, with resultant job creation & wealth generation. Target: 4 years, R271 million channelled to 5200 enterprises/projects, 15 000 jobs created. -
