In this episode of Products With Purpose, Eli spoke with Joshua Ross CEO and co-founder of Humanitix

Humanitix is a highly innovative education charity that funds its programs by offering event organizers a ticketing platform whereby the booking fees fund children's charities. It is also now global with offices in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, and is funded by the foundations of Google & Atlassian.

Prior to Humanitix, Josh had a background in finance and spent 7 years in a Sydney-based hedge fund managing investments across a range of industries.
