In my quest for learning and awareness around the social entrepreneurship space, and through my participation in marketing for the Angel Capital Summit in Denver which was held last week, I’ve come across some really cool stuff lately.
The Angel Capital Summit was a pet project of mine over the summer and in the fall. I worked with Investor and Advisor Partners to help them get the word out about the event, which was intended to bring together a community of entrepreneurs, advisors, investors, and service providers. It was a buzz of excitement and the energy was high.
190 Entrepreneurs submitted their deals and applications to present, and 40 companies were selected. mShopper, the company I co-founded with my husband David Gould, was one of the companies and I found out later was one of the highest-rated deals. Exciting stuff!
mShopper, although it is a mobile app company, has an element of ‘giving back’ and social consciousness . When you purchase a product through mShopper, you can save from 10-40%, and then we suggest that you give some of that savings back to charity as you are checking out with your mobile shopping cart.
Of the 40 companies selected to present, HALF qualified as sustainable/green/social businesses. How Awesome is that!!?? Colorado is becoming a hub for social entrepreneurs.
I’ll be reviewing each of the other companies that I came across that day, and since the event. One that I want to focus on for the purpose of this post is “EVERYWUN“.
I was lucky enough to be invited to meet with the founder, Dan Jacobs, and his very talented partner/fiance Eve Cowen, last week.
In addition to Dan and Eve, I was in the company of some other brilliant social entrepreneurs, committed to be world-changing activators of social consciousness applied to business models. We had the most exhilarating, deep, intellectual conversation which was so incredibly refreshing. Passionate, brilliant people.
We spoke about Everywun and how it could work with a new project we’re working on called W1sd0m. More about W1sd0m later…
Everywun has made it possible for you to give to charity just by taking actions on the internet via social media. Just by placing a badge on your blog (as I have one here), or facebook, or signing up for the newsletter, and telling friends, you get ‘credits’, and then you can choose what to do with your ‘credits’.
Here’s a little blurb about everywun and SIGN UP! PASS IT ON! world changin’ is on its way…
I recently joined an incredible new website called, Everywun.com. By having businesses sponsor advertising, they enable people to take fun, easy, cost-free actions on behalf of charities.
One of the easiest actions I can take is to enable my network of friends and family to do the same! Every person who joins will automatically receive 100 “Everywun credits” that can go towards planting a tree, feeding children, or donating books! If you use my personal invitation link provided below, I’ll also receive 100 credits to plant a tree!
