Description
If you ever wondered how a Silicon Valley mindset rooted in social entrepreneurship can improve global education, then this episode is for you. A fascinating look at an organisation that is quite different from traditional philanthropy.
Imaginable Futures is a philanthropic investment firm that combines impact investing and foundation grant-making in order to unleash human potential through learning.
Imaginable Futures spun out of the Omidyar Network a little over a year ago, where they were previously the Education initiative of Omidyar. They were founded and are funded by Pam and Pierre Omidyar — who is also the Founder of eBay.
Amy worked for eBay, where she served as VP of product strategy and operations, and was previously one of PayPal’s earliest employees in the late 1990s. Today, she leads Imaginable Futures. She provides great insight and projects very positive energy.
