Change Code was founded in early 2024 by two people who previously built an impact-focused L1 (Topl) and who are now building financial and data primitives to mitigate the challenges of impact financing. Before joining web3 in 2021 after finishing her MBA, [Erin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/erin-murphy-05277625/) spent a decade in the economic development and aid sector, working in the field across East Europe and South Asia on projects ranging from micro-enterprise development, to agriculture, to peacebuilding. [Chris](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisgeorgen/ ), who has an academic background in math and computational physics, has been in the web3 space for more than a decade and has expertise in protocol, product, and tokenomic design. In their respective and collective entrepreneurial journeys, they have raised nearly $30M in capital, and together, they have designed products and solutions for impact use cases across 25+ emerging and frontier markets. 

Over the past few years, we’ve spoken and hosted workshops at events such as Schelling Point and Earth Commons (formerly Sustainable Blockchain Summit), and if you’d like a bit more of a window into who we are and how we think, feel free to check out some samples below.
