Becoming Techstars mentor this year has introduced me to some inspiring founders, including Elya Lane of Corra Health, who's developing an AI-powered health assistant. Elya is developing an AI-powered health assistant, drawing from her personal experiences. She's currently fundraising for a new service animal to support her as she builds her company. If you're passionate about backing innovative founders and their projects, consider contributing to Elya's fundraiser. It's a tangible way to support a founder who's addressing the needs of an often overlooked demographic while turning personal challenges into impactful solutions. https://lnkd.in/es5dhrce

The past two years working in rural sports development have been eye-opening. Fundraising is crucial for success, and social media plays a vital role. But the question is..... How do we use social media effectively to raise funds without resorting to portraying poverty? We all know the challenges. Farmers often struggle, and children lack access to proper sports facilities. While these are realities, focusing solely on poverty might not be the most empowering message. So, my question to my network is What are some creative ways to represent rural sports development on social media to attract fundraising support?

Social media can be such a powerful tool with the right strategy!
