Scaling the Right Way - Not the Fast Way

In this episode of the Mission Driven Podcast, I speak with Alasdair Pocock, founder of Socially Responsible, about his a new platform focused on increasing charitable donations across Hong Kong and his view that the key to scaling the right way is not the fast way. Drawing from his personal experience with disability support and his desire to create scalable impact, Alasdair shares the journey of building technology infrastructure to support local NGOs—many of which struggle for visibility and funding despite their deep community work. From tackling sector-specific challenges like Hong Kong’s Section 88 certification, to pivoting from a B2C donation app to a corporate giving platform, Alasdair offers a candid look into the realities of building a mission-led venture.
