How I Built Resilience: Taha Bawa of Goodwall

Hey everyone, and welcome to How I Built This Resilience Edition. On these episodes, we're talking with entrepreneurs and other business leaders about how they're thinking creatively during such a disruptive time. And today we're gonna hear from Taha Bawa, the co-founder of Goodwall. Goodwall is a social network that connects high school and college graduates with jobs and scholarships. Today, Goodwall has raised over sixteen million dollars with more than a million users on the platform. I spoke with Taha from his company headquarters in Switzerland, where he gave me a rundown of Goodwall's mission. For people who've never heard of Goodwall T just kinda tell us how how does it work? It's essentially a mobile first platform that's designed for the next generation. We started off with high school students.

Helping them build up their first profile. Showcase themselves. In a way that um accentuates their extracurricular activities in particular. connect them to opportunities mostly scholarships and colleges.

And then all of this happens within a positive and supportive community, and over time we've grown with our members. into the college and young professional space. Our whole goal is to level the playing field and maximize the potential of as many people as possible. So it's been compared to LinkedIn. Is that a fair comparison? I think there are similarities, however, we're really focused on on our part, which is this next generation starting as early as sixteen and guiding them through almost Sherpaing them through the future of earning and learning and those opportunities. I think they're there are various features that we have that they don't, and we're really focused from a user experience perspective. And then from a community perspective, it's it's very different.
