Serial entrepreneur, David Erasmus has dedicated his career to benefiting the third sector as a social businessman. With a passion for supporting local and global communities through his work, David has developed several innovative solutions that combine technology and ecology to improve the human experience. Having successfully incorporated the natural world with technological advancements in his personal and professional life, David now acts as a coach to enable corporate clients to do the same.

Driven by his passion for nature, David lived for a year in a Shepard’s hut in the pursuit of an environmental education, which later led him to his current way of life, living part-time off-grid. From honing such qualities as innovative thinking, leadership and environmental responsibility during his time in the wild, David founded The Corcovado Project which aimed to enable others to have similar experiences. Cocovado encourages people to build outdoor spaces that allow individuals to learn about the environment and sustainability, and it is currently live in four countries.

An instinctive entrepreneur, David founded Broadplace, his first business in online marketing aged 19. Despite growing to an international brand with more than 20 staff, David found his true passion was in supporting society through business. He has since founded Givey, the social donation platform, Solvey, the global solutions network and Mustard, which reduces gang culture through community-led projects. A truly inspirational advocate for philanthropy, David has had an influential impact on an international scale.

Hailed as an innovator in his field, David has presented four TEDx talks and is often sought after as a corporate speaker on topics including sustainability, business impact and environmental responsibility. Currently, he is Chairperson of Our Carbon which champions SME’s in becoming carbon neutral.
