Description
This week, Yvan Gatignon welcomes Andrew Funk.
His story is sad but full of hope. In 2015, Andrew Funk was living with his Spanish girlfriend in Barcelona, Spain, expecting a baby and launching a start-up. But then, things unraveled. His start-up tanked. Funk and his girlfriend broke up. Funk had to move out of his flat but he had nowhere to go and no money.
Andrew, then 34, became homeless. Andrew's story is very close to ours. Which shows that it can happen to anyone.
Almost 10 years ago, Andrew founded Homeless Entrepreneur, a nongovernmental organization that connects homeless people with jobs. Since then, it has grown from a one-man operation into a well-funded venture. And although most of his efforts have been focused in Spain, the NGO is branching out more globally.
How to bounce back after being on the street? You will find out by listening to my exchange with Andrew Funk
đ Homeless Entrepreneur is 1 of the 8 NGOs benefitting of the Air Liquide international Sport for Good Hackathon in May.
