Funding Friday...
Develop Impact - Issue 105
Happy Friday!
I hope your week has gone well! This week I am featuring plenty of funding opportunities for your #tech4good work across SE Asia. It’s been a busy week for us at Glean Asia as we are preparing to launch our new Develop Impact website and platform. The aim will be to provide a constant database of #tech4good funding in SE Asia, interesting tech projects, and a list of tools/partners you can work with!
I’m going to add my typical hiring plug here: At Glean, we are still hiring for a few key roles as we continue to expand. Right now we are actively hiring for: Project Manager, Front-end Developer, Java Developer, Graphic Designer, and a Communications Specialist. If you’re interested in any of these roles please have a look at our website: https://www.glean.net/work-with-us.
As always if you have something you’d like me to feature, please let me know!
Have a great weekend!
Jesse
