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.'
