Sanil Chawla, Hack+

When Sanil Chawla was a sophomore in high school, he wanted to launch his own web development company as a way to make some money from a hobby of his. Since he was underage, he couldn’t file for bank loans or anything of that sort, so instead he started his research. He then found a way to start his business through small loopholes and legal status back ends. He then began creating software to begin with the blueprints to his business. In 2017, Hack+ was born as a non-profit that provides free fiscal sponsorship to student-founded charitable organizations. Now Chawla and his team of 12 have helped hundreds of students launch their own organizations, raising over a million dollars to help them.
