The Most Underserved Sector on Earth
If you asked me which sector drives the most good in the world – it wouldn’t be tech. It wouldn’t be finance. It wouldn’t be government.
It would be the philanthropy and community sector – the people and organisations who show up when no one else does. The ones feeding families, housing strangers, caring for the sick, fighting injustice, protecting the vulnerable, and rebuilding what others break.
But here’s the kicker: we’ve built a global economy that undervalues them at every turn. Underfunded, under-supported, and overlooked – these organisations are expected to do the impossible, every day, with broken tools and borrowed time.
I’ve seen it firsthand. That’s why we’re building for them.
“We’re not in this to disrupt charities. We’re here to deliver the infrastructure they should’ve had years ago.”
The Deep Tech Gap That’s Holding Good Back
Most nonprofits are stuck in the digital equivalent of a leaky boat. Their CRMs don’t speak to their email tools. Their donation platforms don’t link to impact reporting. Automation is a dream. Prediction is science fiction. And the human cost is burnout.
It’s not just inefficient – it’s unjust.
Because while big tech gets the spotlight and startups get the capital, the people solving the biggest problems on earth are doing it with duct tape and spreadsheets.
This is the real digital divide. And it’s where we’ve decided to stand.
“The charity sector doesn’t need innovation for innovation’s sake. It needs technology that listens, lifts, and lasts. And this is what we’re building.”
Building Tools That Disappear Into the Background
When we build at chillibeanmedia or fundraiz.ai, we don’t start with code – we start with conversation. We ask: What do you spend too much time on? What’s falling through the cracks? What would free you up to focus on the work that matters most? And many other questions.
Then we build tools that answer those needs.
Our aim isn’t to overwhelm people with dashboards and data – it’s to build tech that disappears into the background, quietly saving time, amplifying insight, and delivering confidence. It’s about giving power back to people who are used to being stretched thin. It’s tech that is allowing people to become more human.
Because every hour saved is an hour returned to mission. And every dollar raised with efficiency is a dollar that changes lives.
“Good tech should feel like a mate – not an enemy.”
Investing in the Sector That Invests in People
I’m constantly asked: “Why not build for a sexier industry? Why not take your AI and sell to finance, insurance, retail?”
We will get there but for now, my answer is simple: because this sector builds the world I want to live in.
A world where generosity is scalable.
Where kindness becomes a system.
Where people don’t burn out trying to do good – they burn bright.
That’s the world I’m investing in. That’s the world I want my kids to grow up in. And that’s the world we’re building – one product, one platform, one partnership at a time.
“We are not hampered by the ‘impossible – we are fuelled by it and are making the impossible happen.”
“I want to be the guy who helped build the infrastructure that made generosity go viral.”
The Future Belongs to the Givers
Technology has shaped every major industry on the planet – it’s time it transformed the one that matters most.
We’re not waiting for permission.
We’re not chasing perfection.
We’re building what’s needed – for the people who do the work that truly matters.
Because the future doesn’t belong to the loudest or the fastest. It belongs to the builders. And the community sector has been quietly building a better world all along.
We’re just here to help them do it with better tools.
“We’re building for the people who serve the world. They’re the ones history will remember.”
