The Good News Rolls On- InVenture Receives a USAID DIV Award!
If only all days could be so good. Earlier this morning, we were excited to announce that our CEO Shivani Siroya was selected to be a TED Fellow. If you've ever watched a talk on TED, you know how great this conference can be! So we're not only excited Shivani will be attending, but also speaking on the TED stage as well!
And then just a few hours later, there is this: InVenture is excited to announce that we've been selected by USAID DIV, a cool office of innovation working in USAID, to receive $100,000 award to build upon the work we are doing with InSight in India.
Right now, it's raining in Santa Monica. I just overheard someone say how "when it rains, it pours." It's an old idiom of course, but one I think we'll take today and spin on it's head and turn into a positive. It's been a great 24 hours here at InVenture with the news about USAID and TED, and if this is rain, we sure hope it pours!
InVenture CEO Shivani Siroya is a TED Fellow!
This year, over 1200 people applied for the prestigious opportunity to be a TED Fellow. And so it’s with great excitement that we share with you today that InVenture’s amazing CEO Shivani Siroya was announced as 1 of 21 fellows this morning. Shivani joins an amazing cohort of innovators from around the world, with big ideas to make the world a better place!
We couldn’t be more proud of Shivani. It seems almost weekly that someone on the InVenture team is referencing a dynamic talk they watched on TED. Knowing that Shivani will not only be attending the TED Conference in Long Beach, but given the opportunity to share our innovation of credit scores and financial literacy for all people on the TED stage fills us all with excitement!
But as Shivani said to us this morning, this recognition isn’t just about her. It’s about the entire team at InVenture, it’s a testament to our amazing entrepreneurs that believe in our product InSight, and it’s about all of our amazing supporters, who believe our work produces significant and meaningful value! Join us in congratulating Shivani and all the amazing 2013 fellows, and keep an eye out and sign up for our newsletter to receive more updates in the months to come!
