I have provided voluntary scientific advising to a number of social impact startups and tech firms in emerging markets, including: 

• Yoco Technologies, a large African Financial Technology company serving underserved small businesses with digital payments and revenue-based financing products. 

• Yazi, an AI WhatsApp research startup working across emerging markets. 

• Nuru Energy, a social business providing off-grid lighting to ultra-poor rural households in Africa.

• Papyrus Technologies, providing inventory and AI analytics insights to small bookstores in Africa.
