Alanna Irving is a co-founder of Fundsorter which is a new tech based start-up making life easier for charities to find grants and funding.
In this conversation we start by talking about her childhood and growing up in California as well as her studies, time spent in Japan and what she learned there as well as how she ended up in New Zealand and found her true home here. We both lived in Japan so we had a lot to discuss on that topic!
This is a second part of an interview series as last time I spoke with Lani Evans so be sure to check out that conversation as well for another perspective.
Seeds is a project that now has 472 conversations so subsribe and check out more at www.theseeds.nz
