It is the world's first online platform that supports homeless people, refugees, and prison leavers to get off the streets and into careers they love, all through crowdfunded donations. The man behind this social cause is none other than Alex Stephany.
A British citizen, Alex was educated at Haberdashers Aske's School and later at Oxford University where he graduated in the English language. When he was 19, he secured his first job as an English teacher in China. But soon he moved to law and began working at Clifford Chance, a British multinational law firm, where he didn't survive long. After working for different companies and experimenting with various startups, he finally got into the parking app Just Park and became its CEO. JustPark connects drivers in search of parking with anyone who has a spare space whether it is a private driveway or a public school. This service is able to generate millions of pounds annually for families and businesses.
