Blockchain-based financial inclusion<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Entering my second year as a graduate student I decided to focus my senior thesis on homelessness. This is epidemic is not a tech issue but more of a connectivity issue. Connectivity to affordable housing, health services, resources etc. I wanted to make a tool for people in the community who needed access to financial and emotional support the most. This project initially started out as a blockchain project crowdsourcing money but quickly ballooned into a relationship builder as well. <\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The idea: Village, is a platform built on the principle of collective impact, using a community crowdsource financial and emotional support to people in temporary housing.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’ve somehow recruited the Managing Director of Design at Goldman Sachs to be my thesis advisor. Stay tuned for prototypes and check out my midway presentation below. <\/span><\/div>\n
