Description

Vance Roush (@vanceroush), founder and CEO of Overflow, joins Erik to discuss: - Overflow, the online donation platform for non-cash assets, and the story behind its creation.- Why the market is actually “sneakily big” and how he plans to create a new category that unlocks net new generosity by making donating shares, crypto, or other non-cash assets as easy as Venmo.- How the internet has changed philanthropy, the fact that philanthropic giving has never exceeded 2% of GDP, and how to increase that percentage.- The concept of tithing, why the church is a driver of charitable giving, and the idea of giving back instead of out of obligation.- Why philanthropy needs a rebranding, and how AngelList and Teach For America provide models for how that could be done.- Why there should be a stock market-like leaderboard for non-profits and why we need more seed stage philanthropists.- How he sees the future of philanthropy evolving.Thanks for listening — if you like what you hear, please review us on your favorite podcast platform. Check us out on the web at www.villageglobal.vc or get in touch with us on Twitter @villageglobal.Want to get updates from us?
