Angels of Impact is the brainchild of the founders of GeTIT, Inc, a strategic business consultancy based in Silicon Valley since 2000 and PlayMoolah, a successful social enterprise based in Singapore since 2008. Both founders were very inspired by Prof Yunus book "Creating a World Without Poverty" and the Monitor Group Report "from Blueprint to Scale", and these became some of the foundation thinking behind Angels of Impact.
