Description

What if anyone, anywhere, could access the resources to create real social change? 

In this episode, Ben and Darren speak with Seira Yun, founder of Socious Fund, about breaking down the barriers that keep changemakers from getting the funding and people they need. From his years in humanitarian work with the UN and Red Cross to building a tech-driven impact ecosystem, Seira shares how visibility, trust, and community can level the playing field for underrepresented founders. 

From designing the Tech for Impact Summit to creating a quadratic voting system that gives voice to those without deep pockets, Seira’s journey reveals how thoughtful technology can unite people across sectors—and make impact work more equitable. 

This episode is powered by Freedom World, a platform that helps organisations build, engage, and grow purpose-driven communities through technology. 

What you'll hear: 

  • Why funding in the impact sector often follows attention, not need 

  • How quadratic voting can democratise decision-making in funding 

  • The vision behind the Tech for Impact Summit’s “bonfire” connection ritual 

  • Ways to lower the barriers for anyone to make a difference 

  • How technology can scale trust and impact without becoming the focus
