"Why, Hello." a social impact FUND built on irrational ideas

This is our idea for good people doing things that don't make sense. By that, we mean trying to solve the hell out of problems like homelessness and mass gun shootings right now. The terrible problems seem too vast and complex for the fully rational to consider tackling.

Fortunately, "fully rational" is not our M.O. We see the tools in front of us. And we know the challenges run deep, but the more wild and positive ideas we pump out into the world, the less chance this world gets any worse. We not only relate as we've gone through hell and back, but we've reimagined kindness from fashion, food, music to art. Kindness doesn't give a damn about class, gender, race, or religion; it only cares about causing some good trouble, as John Lewis would say.

We will invite a collective that funds ideas and passionate people who want to change the world, those who don't only look for ROI but lasting change (let's get both; impact first). Let's flood the world with nonsensical solutions to dam up the despair. We've already started the process, but real talk: we need all the help we can get.

THE POSSIBILITIES

There are 8 billion people in the world and 215 Million global companies. Imagine if we showed the world how to create businesses that impact people and develop products/services for good while creating revenue that anyone would be excited about. It's time to show how Kindness as a Service and measuring a Return on Kindness will impact (too late; we already started with Some Neat Place).

We're starting a fund from investors who give a damn and helping those that have a heart to serve, who happen to dream as big as we do about denting the world, and who have access to everything at our disposal to take a dream to market. We have people who have been a part of some unicorn's initial raise, leading players in the ever-growing cannabis business, thought leaders in crypto/blockchain, and building the metaverse for good (leading AR, AI, VR).

OUR WHY

Every person is fighting to live a better life, and some have given up hope. The time is now, and let's be the ones who light up a dark world. Kindness as a Service and leveraging Kindness to drive business decisions seem irrational yet fundamental to creating a better world. We don't need more companies that only have good ROI. Let's find the ones that will forever change the world, and the money will come.

Thank you for being here.
