John Brennan

Social Entrepreneur, Web Developer, World Traveler

Bio

John has spent time working for Microsoft, doing R&D for the defense industry and has a few failed startups (aka "learning experiences") under his belt.

In the winter of 2008 John's heart and mind became one. Like a moth to a flame, this overwhelming call to channel his skills for social good surfaced. In June 2009, John decided to sell his worldly possessions and set out for New York City (via San Diego). With over a decade of web development experience, John channeled his skills into building something with social value.

John is currently working on a sustainable solution to help create and strengthen the emotional connection between organizations and donors. The team also hopes to incentivize organizations to share knowledge and give beneficiaries a direct voice.
