First hand experience of the charity sector has taught me that 'giving away' money is frustratingly complex. Founders Pledge makes doing the right thing an awful lot easier.
After thirteen years consuming financial data as first a broker, then principal trader, at an investment bank I founded AltFi Data to assist the development of tech enabled forms of financial intermediation. At AltFi Data we believe that third party verified and standardised disclosure allows originators to effectively demonstrate alignment, and investors to industrialize the due diligence process, allowing new asset classes to scale. Meanwhile a hobby charity project in the education sector - http://www.momentum-scheme.com - which has developed beyond my initial expectations, has taught me how much can be achieved by altruism, to the benefit of all parties, and also how difficult it can be to 'do the right thing'. I am really excited to be involved with Founders Pledge.
