episode 8: Using Crowdsourced Data to Spread Good Karma
Today’s episode features the founder of Karmalize, the world's first and only online directory of socially responsible businesses, searchable by social cause, and completely crowdsourced from people who care about making a better future. After a 30+ year career in the consulting, technology, and software industries, today’s guest, Rich Yap, turned in a corporate career for a different mission: to help people spread good karma by supporting socially responsible businesses. Rich takes us behind the scenes of building a tech product with a social impact mission as the focus, and shares lessons from his experience along with practical advice we can all use in our projects.
