Chuffed started its life as a charity, then converted structure into a Public Benefit Company - raising a seed equity round of $1.1M led by Blackbird Ventures. It was the first time that any Australian tech VC had invested in a social enterprise. Now, since growing to be the largest social cause crowdfunding platform in Australia, http://chuffed.org/ has set its sights internationally and is expanding to the UK and US. Join us to learn about Prashan's journey to http://chuffed.org/ and the insight he has gathered into the world of social enterprise, including the discovery of deep societal injustices.
