What do you know about launching a non-profit technology venture?
Our guest on the podcast today is Samier Mansur, CEO and Founder of No Limit Generation, a Washington DC based non-profit that equips refugee aid-workers with trauma informed mental health and wellness tools developed by world renowned experts. While working to support on the ground relief efforts during the Rohingya refugee crisis, Samier realized that traditional aid workers were not equipped to address the mental health needs of children in crisis zones. Having previously co-founded the successful public safety technology company LifeSafe, Samier realized this might be a problem that technology could help solve.
On the podcast, Samier shares his journey from international relations major to tech founder to the world of non-profits. He gives his advice for founders looking to launch a mission-driven enterprise, how to cope with the challenges of being an entrepreneur, and how we can use technology and entrepreneurship to build a better world. You can check out all the work Samier and his team are doing at nolimitgen.org and follow them @nolimitgen.
