Vance Roush
Vance Roush is the founder and CEO of Overflow, a fintech platform that makes it simple for churches, nonprofits, and schools to accept stock, crypto, and cash donations online. A first-generation Asian American raised in Kent, Washington, he studied at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, spent time at Google and ADARA, and co-founded VIVE Church in the Bay Area. His work as the church's finance lead exposed how clunky it was to donate appreciated assets, which led him to launch Overflow in 2020. The company has raised roughly $30M, including a $20M Series B in 2024, and Roush frames his mission around Proverbs 11:24 and building an 'Amazon for giving.'
Overflow
Overflow is a faith-and-nonprofit fintech that lets churches, ministries, universities and charities accept the kinds of gifts most donation tools ignore - publicly traded stock, cryptocurrency, donor-advised funds, ACH, cards and digital wallets - all through one online flow that replaces the old fax-and-paperwork process for asset-based giving. Founded by former Google engineer Vance Roush after his own church struggled to accept stock gifts, the company reports that donors who give appreciated assets tend to give far more than they would in cash, and it has expanded into NFC 'Tap' giving hardware, an AI-assisted giving product and analytics. Overflow raised a $20M Series B in February 2024 and says it serves more than 1,000 organizations.
Sonia Nigam
Sonia Nigam is the co-founder and CEO of Change, a San Francisco fintech that turns charitable giving into a few lines of code. Brands drop a Change button into checkout and the company handles the unglamorous machinery behind it - vetting, compliance, and disbursement across more than 200,000 nonprofits. A Northwestern computer science and business grad who engineered frictionless payments at Braintree and Venmo, Nigam quit her job at the start of the pandemic to build the donations API she wished existed. She and co-founder Amar Shah landed on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for social impact and raised a $5M seed round to bring giving on-chain.
