Is Giving One Pound Enough? - Dave Erasmus at TEDxSalford

David Erasmus is a serial entrepreneur who has turned his sights to the third sector and is a leading advocator of marrying innovation, technology and social responsibility. He is a special advisor to Lord Wei of Shoreditch advising him on solving social problems through technology.

Dave Erasmus is currently the founder and CEO of social giving platform, Givey. Dave is passionate about the area of philanthropy and giving, serving as a founding member of the Ambassadors for Philanthropy and is part of The Big Society's Nexters scheme. Having travelled the world following the sale of Broadplace, an online SEO firm, Dave set out to ask business leaders what could be done to help improve the world. Dave worked with local entrepreneurs in South Africa to help them form their own company before moving back to the UK and starting to work on mobile projects. All of this led Dave to create Givey as a simple way to donate over social platforms such as SMS or Twitter.
