Co-founderHumanitix
Josh was named Social Entrepreneur of the Year in Australia (2018), received the New South Wales Premiers Medal, and won the Google Impact Challenge for co-founding Humanitix with his best friend Adam McCurdie.
Humanitix is a self-funding charity disrupting the heavily resented ticketing industry, a truly novel idea – embedding a SAAS tech-social enterprise into a charity structure whereby the shareholders are the world's most disadvantaged children. Humanitix has now had great success across Australia & New Zealand, received multi-year funding from the Atlassian Foundation, and is launching in the US in 2020.
Prior to co-founding Humanitix josh started his career at one of Sydney’s leading hedge-funds where he spent 7 years in the investment team, became CFA qualified, was offered partnership, however left the industry to launch his dream social enterprise. He has now dedicated the rest of his life to trying to solving the global education gap, which he believes is at the core of intergenerational poverty.
Humanitix Australia is now a scaled self-funding charity generating social impact through indigenous scholarships, literacy programs for young girls, and improved accessibility at live events. Boston Consulting Group estimate it is on track to become the world’s first Social Unicorn, and he is hoping for it to lead the way as a concept for Venture Philanthropy and Social Return on Capital.
