Congratulations to Making Space, one of our investment companies! We're grateful to be able to play a small part in your journey. #makingspace #oneplanetinvestments
Founder & CEO, Making Space | Presidential Leadership Scholar | Forbes 30 Under 30
SO excited to announce our oversubscribed $2M pre-seed round! In addition, we are celebrating 1 whole year of Making Space! Here is a quick round up of what the Making Space team has achieved to date: Democratized accessible, free education to over 1,800 Disabled people, Signed a partnership with NBC Sports to enhance employment opportunities for Disabled talent during the upcoming Paris Olympics and Paralympics broadcasts. This collaboration included hiring the first-ever Disabled hosts for NBC’s Paralympics coverage, Signed a partnership with Netflix to provide job-specific education to build a pipeline of prequalified Disabled graphic designers, Signed on Amazon to provide accessible education to industry leaders, Making Space Media secured a first-look deal with Hello Sunshine and has co-produced it's first prime-time documentary being released next week, Won Gold at Pepperdine Most Fundable Companies, won the WGULabs ASU+GSV pitch, completed the Techstars Economic Mobility Program and participating in the Remarkable Tech Program, In the USA, Disabled people are still 2x more likely to be unemployed than non-disabled people, and are 2x more likely to live in poverty. Globally, Disabled people are up to 50% less likely to complete primary and secondary education, and there are even greater disparities in higher education. We have LOTS to solve and build for, and I believe when we tie impact to fundamental business strategy, we can start making systemic change. Thank you for our amazing investors, advisors, partners, team members and learners! Thank you Dominic-Madori Davis for covering our news.

What if our economy prioritized the greater good over profits? We present one final talk from our inaugural Summit where Emily Chew, a Sustainable and Responsible Investment Executive, argues for a shift from profit-driven systems to those that focus on environmental and social well-being. By reframing human nature as interconnected with our environment and each other, Emily encourages intentional capital allocation towards sustainable and socially responsible solutions. She critiques traditional economic frameworks for promoting competitive and hierarchical relationships and advocates for a new approach centered on human and communal welfare. Emily leaves us with three pivotal questions to guide organizations in adopting an ethic of care, ultimately ensuring the well-being of all stakeholders. Watch Emily’s full talk: https://lnkd.in/g9F9m_hT AND join us at this year’s Summit, October 11-13 in San Francisco! ✨Seats are limited. ✨Secure your spot: theoneplanetsummit.com #oneplanetsummit One Planet Group Payam Zamani #futureleaders #consciouscapitalism #servantleadership #executive #siliconvalley #inspire #inspired

Our founder's book launches today! At the age of 16, Payam escaped persecution and made his way to America as a refugee. At 28, he secured a billion-dollar IPO. Today, he’s redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur by building a new model of capitalism. Available now where books are sold. https://lnkd.in/gDKTjvEv #crossingthedesert #book #launchday
It’s hard to believe that the day is finally here – the launch of “Crossing the Desert”. Over the past year, I’ve been working on my first book. It’s a humbling process that continues to pull me into a state of deep reflection. Part memoir, part business advice, my hope is that my personal story will inspire others to never stop following their callings, no matter how unlikely success may seem at that moment. This is a book about how we continue to grow by embracing challenges and difficult journeys. Thank you to everyone who has supported me by pre-ordering copies, sharing about the book, and sending well wishes. I appreciate it more than you know. with love, payam https://lnkd.in/gSx9uiFB #crossingthedesert #crossingthedesertbook #spiritualcapitalism #spiritualenterprise #bookrelease
