    Watsi CEO Rachel founded the world's first global crowdfunding platform to connect individual donors directly with patients in need, overcoming systemic inefficiencies in traditional aid by ensuring 100% of donations fund care without administrative fees. Since launching in August 2010, the organization has grown from a $10,000 crisis intervention into a Y Combinator-backed entity that has raised over $3.5 million to treat 4,000 patients across 20 countries. By prioritizing transparency and removing donor restrictions, Watsi facilitates rapid, life-saving interventions for cases such as the siblings in Guatemala and Getu in Kenya while pioneering a universal monthly giving model.
