In Episode 6 we interview Annie Crawford, originally a social worker, working in community mental health and sexual assault, Annie moved into human resources before helping to set up a biotechnology start-up in San Francisco, California.After returning to Australia in 2003, rather than re-enter the paid workforce, Annie decided to work on a new project that was all about “making a difference”.Annie decided to combine her passion for running and fitness with raising money for a non-profit organisation. And so, the idea for Can Too was born. Five months later, in May 2005, the first Can Too program was up and running.Can Too is a Foundation that invests in the health and well being of the community and in cancer research. Can Too trains people to achieve goals they never imagined they could achieve such as participate in a marathon, half marathon, 10k, ocean swim or triathlon. Can Too has now trained 13,500 participants and raised over $18 M for cancer research in NSW, Victoria, Qld and the ACT.

Founder of Village Capital, Victoria Fram talking about how they are reimagining venture capital to drive impactWe dive into an exploration of the accelerator program structure and how a focus on non-traditional locations is intentional to bring resources, knowledge and outcomes to areas otherwise overlooked and to help offset the lack of diverse thinking that can happen in more well known/frequented startup locationshttps://vilcap.com/ About Victoria Fram In 2012, Victoria co-founded Village Capital and helped to build the organization into a global firm with four regional offices, from humble beginnings as a team of two people (and a few interns) hiking in Virginia and playing Settlers of Catan. In 2014, she spun out VilCap Investments as an affiliated investment fund, and as Managing Director she is responsible for all investment and fund activity. She’s particularly passionate about working with a portfolio of founders that are well on their way to building a better, more equitable, more sustainable world — and that reflect the diversity of talent that our future requires.Prior to co-founding Village Capital, Victoria was on the Program Related Investments team at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation while in business school; previously she was on the investment team at Metropolitan, a private equity fund-of-funds acquired by Carlyle. Before that, she worked in international development and conflict resolution as an Insight Fellow and at MatchMaker Associates, an agricultural financing fund. Outside of work, Victoria likes to make her two kids laugh, run marathons, travel, read, and maintain a beginner’s mindset while glassblowing. She’s a graduate of Stanford University & Stanford’s Graduate School of Business, a Kauffman Fellow, and sits on various corporate and nonprofit boards.Find her online athttps://www.linkedin.com/in/victoria-fram-5a23a02/https://www.facebook.com/victoria.fram.5About Village Capital VilCap Investments is the affiliated venture capital fund of Village Capital, dedicated to investing in early-stage companies with social and environmental impact.
