ROGERS + PURPOSE
Mister Rogers didn't fit the mold. When public broadcasting's funding was on the chopping block in 1969, he walked into Congress and, with quiet conviction, saved it. He didn't just save a show; he showed that you can do good and build something that lasts. Fred Rogers Productions and Patagonia have proven this model works.
"WHY, HELLO."
We're not another company raising money just to chase money. We're here to support the overlooked—the people who work in the trenches, driven by purpose, not personal gain. We're here to find the ideas that matter, support the people behind them, and do the necessary work now, not later.
WHAT IS A KINDNESS FUND?
Imagine a world where profit follows purpose. We're already building it. Our metric isn't just ROI—it's Kindness as a Service. We prove every day that you can have both impact and profit.
We're building a fund backed by investors who value more than just a return. Our team is a diverse group of ethical tech visionaries and proven builders, and like the Wizard of Oz, we care more about being in the background to help create impact.
Our network is our greatest asset. You won’t find our contacts on LinkedIn or Pitchbook. We’ve built genuine trust with unlisted individuals who have the financial backing and desire to execute quickly. We turn ambition into action and ideas into movements. We are the first-ever Kindness Fund.
OUR WHY
Kindness as a strategy isn't radical—it's foundational. The world doesn't need more companies chasing only a return on investment. It needs people who will risk everything for a big idea, and we've proven that money will follow.
This isn't about becoming the richest. It's about being able to say you made a difference.
If that sounds like you, we need your kind of vision to help change the world.
