Today I had on Dominic Kalms, a 3-time venture-backed entrepreneur and philanthropist.  He has raised over $120M in venture and philanthropic capital during his career and has been featured in an array of media publications such as NBC, Forbes, CBS, Entrepreneur, BBC, Yahoo and more!  He was most recently profiled on the front page of Entrepreneur.com, as well as in the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy web series. Dominic’s no joke, fam! He is the founder and previous CEO of the popular online platform GVNG which Forbes called "One of the most revolutionary platforms in the social impact space today.” Today, Dominic is CEO of a new venture-backed FinTech company B Generous, which is revolutionizing how people donate to nonprofits through the advent of the first-ever philanthropic credit product. Think donate today, pay tomorrow. Essentially the Shopify of Philanthropy. Dominic is also a well-known public speaker and has spoken at many global forums on philanthropy & technology such as the United Nations Summit, Nexus Summit, Global Citizen Forum, TEDx, and the list goes on and on.  This is one of my favorite shows to date because we really get into the concept of scaling impact through really creative business concepts that solve real-life problems at scale. And frankly, Dominic’s a freakin badass entrepreneur with endless amounts of energy fueled by purpose.
