Taking a small idea and making it successful
My guest today says, “It’s heart-warming to see the community continue to support charities despite the circumstances of COVID-19.”
Joining me today is Tania Burstin.
Having finished her Business degree and volunteering her time at a charity, Tania realised that she could be more impactful, not just by her acts of service, but by improving the donation experience.
She launched the online crowdfunding platform mycause.com.au in 2009, which now stands as an award-winning platform for personal and charitable causes, raising over $140 million for Australian community groups, charities, and individuals.
Since then, Tania has been awarded three times as a Telstra Business Award Finalist, Top 50 Women FinTech Leader, and Monash University Alumni Global Leader.
On today’s show Tania is going to share:
- Navigating through COVID-19 while helping businesses, charities and communities raise much-needed funds.
- How she built herself up to become an industry leader and female entrepreneur
- Taking a small idea and making it successful by persevering and never giving up
