About the speaker
How is compassion connected to the creative economy and why people believe in crowdfunding?
On our September CreativeMornings breakfast Henri Laupmaa, a founder of Hooandja and CEO of Fundwise, will share his story about compassion in crowdfunding projects.
Henri is one of the leading brains behind the Estonian sharing economy, having also laid the basis for various innovative initiatives in this field - such as Hooandja, Let's Do It! and Community Tools. Currently, he is developing Fundwise - the equity crowdfunding platform.
Henri is also the member of Estonian President's Academic Advisory Board and board member of the Estonian Fund for Nature. Being also a co-founder of Let's do it World, in 2008 Henri was organizing a cleanup event with 50 000 volunteers in Estonia and helped to export the model to all the regions and countries who wanted to do a similar thing.
