I help lead Product at Momentum, and care about making funding for high impact causes more robust & diversified. I live in the Bay Area, advise Asia-based community builders and run Pineapple Operations. I previously worked in consulting, recruiting and marketing, with a BA in Sociology and focused on social movements. (A little on my journey to EA)

I’m always keen to hear feedback through any means. Here’s an anonymous way to share: admonymous.co/​vaidehiagarwalla

Unless otherwise stated, I always write in a personal capacity.
