The Fishbowl Challenge is an international business plan competition and accelerator program based in Palo Alto, California. We work with students from around the world to help them build tech-powered social ventures to affect social change. We’ve reached over 2000 students from over 90 countries to date, and invested +$150K in pre-seed enterprises—everything from maternal health-tech in Nigeria to solar-powered ag-tech in Ghana.
Our founding team is made of renowned industry veterans from Google, as well as young professionals from Africa, Asia, Europe, South America and the US, supported by a seasoned and diverse team of mentors. Our goal is to empower young entrepreneurs to create global social impact through business.
We are actively seeking a self-motivated and skilled Fundraising Project Manager who can work 10 - 15 hours per week to join our team, drive the growth of our non-profit income, and expand our pool of donors. This person will play a key role in propelling Fishbowl to the next level and enabling us to empower thousands more students globally each year.
