About Venture with Impact:
Ann Davis – world traveler, lady-boss, and brain cancer survivor – founded Venture with Impact, LLC (VWI) in 2016 with the mission to rewrite the narrative on remote work, including social impact as a key component. In the process, VWI also aims to expose professionals to new cultures, people, and ideas, so that they may become more informed and empathetic world citizens.
As evidenced by the rising trend of digital nomadism, or traveling the world while working remotely, many workers are abandoning their cubicles, drawn by a desire to maintain a career while nurturing an adventurous identity. At the same time, voluntourism, or volunteer tourism, is one of the fast-growing segments in the travel industry today. Davis, recognizing these trends, found a way to combine the desires for travel and volunteerism into a unique program that specifically caters to remote professionals.
While some organizations, such as Remote Year, exist to support digital nomads, VWI is unique in that it brings together diverse groups of professionals, provides them with everything they need to work remotely abroad, and offers them the opportunity to connect beyond work and give back to the local communities on a probono basis. Beyond connecting participants with volunteer partners that fit with their interests professional skills and schedules, VWI also plans cultural activities and weekend trips, allowing participants to dig deeper into the local culture and create bonds with their fellow ‘Venture Nomads’.
The program is currently accepting applications for new Venture Nomads in 4 hubs – Medellin, Colombia, Chiang Mai, Thailand, Lisbon, Portugal and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
