Before founding Pravi, Robyn worked in the charity sector and went on to run a business helping people get started using AI in practical ways. She has trained more than 2,000 people across the UK, USA, Australia and New Zealand. Through that work, she saw how small charities risk being left behind in the AI revolution and decided to do something about it.
After speaking with hundreds of charities, Robyn found a common challenge: the need for more unrestricted income from individual donors. In April 2024, she and her co-founder won a £350,000 Innovate UK Smart Grant to build Pravi, a platform that uses AI to help small charities grow online and find new donors.
