Episode Synopsis
Lurein Perera – CEO of Givecard
How do we take modern financial technology but put it in the sense of
giving people money? And that’s really the ethos of GiveCard and what
we’ve become today.

Under Lurein’s leadership, GiveCard collaborates with state governments, nonprofits, and corporations across the country, delivering critical funds to hundreds of thousands of Americans, providing them with the resources they need as we move to an increasingly cashless society. Originally from Malawi, Lurein dropped out of Harvard after a year to focus on work that aligns with their values and commitment to social impact.
