Founded in 2020, the startup works with charities and public sector organisations to accelerate support to those in financial hardship. With a global background in Fintech, Ren worked previously as product director and director of financial inclusion at Railsbank, a rapidly scaling open finance platform. In this in-depth conversation, Ren recalls her career journey so far and how she started Lightning Social Ventures to “use business to play a role in making this a fairer world;” discusses the company and how using tech allows them to support people much more quickly and effectively than traditional financial support; and shares her future plans to take the business outside of the UK as “hardship is a global problem” that needs an effective solution.
