Nicholas Fusso
Nicholas is the Co-Founder and Program Director of D-Prize, a 501(c) not for profit.
D-Prize expands access to poverty-alleviation interventions in the developing world.
Many solutions to poverty already exist. The challenge is distributing these solutions to the people who need it most. Their programs produce new “distribution entrepreneurs” – social entrepreneurs who start new ventures that distribute proven life-enhancing technologies to millions of people living in extreme poverty.
Nicholas has managed D-Prize since it’s inception in 2013, and continues to oversee a full time staff and manage daily operations. He attended the University of Washington, and earned an MBA from Claremont. Nicholas believes the world is on the cusp of overcoming long-lasting bottlenecks in international development, and that poverty will end in our lifetime.
