A Call to Action for Ukraine Refugees - Stuart Watkins, CEO of Zenoo
Manage episode 324415162 series 181787
This is a special emergency episode of Barefoot Innovation with a call to action for helping to protect Ukrainian refugees from being preyed upon by human traffickers.
Yesterday, I got a message from Stuart Watkins, the CEO of Zenoo, in Prague. I got to know Stu two years ago when AIR ran our first TechSprint on the US Paycheck Protection Program, which provided rescue funding for small businesses hit suddenly by the covid shutdowns. Zenoo, based in London and Prague, worked with the TechSprint teams from a Friday night to a Sunday night, developing tools for banks to use for fast, automated onboarding of PPP loan applicants.
This week, Stu was reaching out for help with a different idea: a plan for protecting Ukrainian refugees by setting up a system to authenticate the identities of people offering them shelter and transportation.
