Doug talks to Christian Purcell, the cofounder of DropPoint. Discover how this innovative platform connects donors with charities, revolutionising the way we give. From remote work adventures to creating a self-sustaining charity platform, Christian is an innovator and philanthropist who is championing sustainability and community empowerment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
DropPoint is a directory of charities seeking item donations, functioning like a "reverse eBay" for giving away things. The platform uses e-commerce return portal technology to facilitate direct donations from donors to charities.
Christian's goal of creating a self-sufficient, remote-work-friendly business was realised through DropPoint. It generates income through integrated courier services, offering rates cheaper than traditional postage options.
DropPoint provides opportunities for aspiring tech professionals to gain experience and break into the industry. The platform aims to expand by collaborating with businesses on corporate social responsibility projects.
Christian's journey demonstrates how passion projects can lead to personal and professional growth.
Remote work opportunities are becoming rarer post-pandemic, Christian recognises the value of flexible work arrangements for both individuals and companies.

BEST MOMENTS

"I left a good job to go work part time just doing bits and bobs, part time minimum wage work, because I needed to free up my time to build a website, hunt down charities, go through the whole learning curve of how to actually establish and run a legal business." 

"I honestly feel apart from complete financial independence, which would be amazing. I honestly feel like I have completed my biggest life goals as of a couple of years ago."

"If there are some businesses out there that want to do some very big and bold item related charity campaigns, we are all there, whether it's the tech, the logistics, the marketing, the support, anything that you need"
