The Entrepreneur’s Pledge is an initiative inspired by the Giving Pledge which was started by Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. The Giving Pledge is a wonderful initiative by the world’s wealthiest individuals to dedicate the majority of their wealth to philanthropy. However, we believe that entrepreneurs are the most likely to achieve the highest impact with the most Return on Investment (ROI). Combining both pledges will result in the best possible outcome for the world.
Every entrepreneur with a proven track record of starting a company with at least $1 million in revenues or min. 10 employees. Further every new pledger must be recommended by 2 existing pledgers. Each Entrepreneur who chooses to sign the pledge will be featured on the website and get updates about new social start-up ideas, successes and lessons learned. Stories can be exchanged individually or in specific groups, and all pledgers commit themselves to support fellow pledgers who decided to start a new social venture. Connections to philanthropists and social investors will be established to facilitate the best match for maximum Social Impact ROI.
