I hope your week has gone well! This week I have five new funding opportunities for your #techforgood work in South East Asia. At Glean this week we’ve been focusing on delivering a payment system for one of our APAC clients and it has reminded me of how critical payment systems/methods for the un-banked or last-mile users are. I’m curious if anyone in this network is working on helping solve this problem? If you are, please let me know, I’d love to feature your work with a longer write up!
