Description

In this episode of the Soar podcast, Taylor Shanklin sat down with Justin Wheeler to talk about his founder stories, having founded both nonprofit and for-profit organizations.

Justin Wheeler has raised over $100+M for charities and has founded both for-profit and nonprofit entities. He got into "building things" at an early age, with his first startup venture being a nonprofit, Liberty in North Korea.  That was followed up by the founding of another nonprofit organization, Invisible Children, and his most recent venture is a California-based startup, Funraise, which helps nonprofits raise money and run more efficiently.

In this episode, the two talked about:

  • Some breaking advice on how nonprofit organizations can continue to fundraise in the time of the coronavirus
  • What it's like to start a nonprofit vs a for-profit
  • Why nonprofits are at an (often unfortunate) disadvantage
  • Justin's founder lessons learned with each venture
