Start Small Think Big | Avery Konda

Avery Konda is an Entrepreneur,  Podcast Host, and and Angel Investor in 18 startups. Not bad for a guy who is only 23 years old.

Avery thinks big. He’s seeking opportunities to make large scale social impact, and in his words is driven to being very disruptive. That means taking on traditional systems or legacy projects that have build generations of distrust and generations of missed opportunity or inequality.

Avery does that an Angel Investor and through his work as Chief Community Engagement Officer at Tandempark, the first online volunteer ecosystem of its kind. Avery is not hesitant to state that Tandempark will the biggest disrupter that industry has ever seen.

Avery credits much of his fast start to the opportunities provided him when he was student at Georgian College, the first ChangeMaker College in Canada certified by Ashoka. While still in College, Avery managed a budget of $250,000.
