FUNDING A NEW ECONOMY In 1997 my Board member Eckart Wintzen introduced me to Ben Cohen (Founder of Ben&Jerrys) and Yvon Chouinard (Founder of Patagonia). These meetings changed my (business) life completely!! They were passionate entrepreneurs who had created a global network of other passionate entrepreneurs called Social Venture Network (SVN). I would call SVN the first global network of sustainable entrepreneurs. These business people understood that only growing a company and making money was not enough. They understood that their companies had to mean anything, their companies needed to have a positive contribution to the world. And wow, was that a new message in 1997!! Since 1997 I have been trying to change my business life with that third and very important reason; grow companies, make money ánd mean something to the world. Right now, more than 25 years later, I just can not imagine to build or run a company without the key question "why are you here, what is your contribution to the world?". Just to make money; come you, you got to be kidding me :-) Together with my friend Marcello Palazzi we worked on building Social Venture Network Europe, we started B Lab Europe in 2013 and in 2021 we co-founded the creation of he largest global network of business leaders, B for Good Leaders. With a simple and very clear goal; Business Leaders are the changemakers, it is about people! Going back to 1997; it was the people who inspired me to change my business attitude. It always is about the people, the leaders who dare to step into the future, who dare to be different by creating Good Business. My whole life is about building this global trusted network of business leaders who together, in doing business, create a better world. By dealing with each other. Like a Linkedin of only sustainable business leaders. That you can trust because they have the same value system. That you can trust because they share a dream together. Over the past three years we have made remarkable steps; we created three phenomenal Summits in Rome and Amsterdam, we gathered around 80.000 business leaders in our network, we have created and AI based tool to easily connect these leaders with each other. We have created a Community Platform where leaders meet. But I need your help, adressing the 8600 business people in my network here. Are you staying on the sideline or are you feeling the need to join the change. Join us in building the global network, doing business, growing your business but with a meaning while doing business for good. What we achieved over the past 25 years and what we are going to achieve over the coming decades is up to you as well. If not you, then who? If not now, then when? If not here, then where?

Recent Miami University and Miami University Farmer School of Business grads Oliver Zak (CEO, MU '19 in Finance) and Selom Agbitor (CMO, MU '19 in Finance), co-founders of Mad Rabbit, are in the news again. In a recent feature in Entrepreneur Magazine, Oliver goes in-depth with staff reporter Amanda Breen about Mad Rabbit's origin story as a side hustle while he and Selom were completing their senior year at Miami, a story that began with the development of Mad Rabbit's first product, a spot moisturizer for tattoos, with nothing more than a crockpot, ingredients the two purchased on Amazon, and the help of Zak's mother and her apothecary knowledge. "For tattoos, scabs are pretty bad," Zak tells Entrepreneur. "The ink gets lodged in the scab, and when the scabs fall off, your tattoo that you just spent tons of hours and pain and money on can look pretty rough after, as soon as week two. It was that initial pain point that drew me to wanting to formulate a more natural, clean and vegan solution for tattoo healing." Backed by an impressive group of investors that includes Shark Tank ABC investor and owner of the National Basketball Association (NBA) Dallas Mavericks Mark Cuban and Acronym Venture Capital General Partner Joshua B Siegel, Mad Rabbit has grown from $400,000 in sales during its first year in 2019 as a side hustle at Miami to more than $13M in sales in 2022. According to the Global Cosmetic Industry trade organization, Mad Rabbit sells one tattoo balm every 90 seconds and has helped preserve more than 3M tattoos to date. In March, Mad Rabbit announced a Series A investment of $10 million led by Lucas Brand Equity with Mark Cuban, Acronym Venture Capital, H Venture Partners and others, quadrupling the brand's valuation to $56 million.

Next, we develop the strategy to get there. Then, we work on the details/steps to create options for our clients and provide the advice and negotiations expertise for them to succeed with their real estate and business strategies.

Hello everyone. My name is Morris Wray and I'm seeking a potential business investor(s). I am a solo entrepreneur seeking an Angel investor(s)/VC's to assist with funding and growing this consumer product good into a multi-billion dollar industry. I'm the founder and creator of a brand-new eating utensil called "Fourth Option" that will allow everyone to enjoy many of their finger foods without eating with their fingers and spreading germs. There is nothing like our product on the market where you combine the ease of use, function, style, and no awkward hand motion that is uncomfortable and unfamiliar with everyday use. I am creating a brand-new category of eating utensil that's been needed for decades without any direct competition. When you go into major retail stores like Walmart and Target, all you will find on the silverware aisles are knives, forks, and spoons.... but why? (You won't even find chopsticks.) We indulge in foods like shrimp, chicken tenders, French fries, popcorn, chips, grapes, donuts and a wide variety of finger foods daily that can't be eaten with our current silverware. Please go to my website https://lnkd.in/eE_GijKe where you can see a full display of our eating utensils along with the carrying cases we provide. I have a pending utility and design patent filed with the USPTO. I can provide you with more information including a pitch deck so you can see all the potential revenue streams of income in this overlooked market. If interested, you can reach me at morriswray@fourthoption.com and we can discuss in further detail all the markets our product would be the perfect fit for. Please put "Potential Investor" in the subject line and I will respond at my earliest convenience. Thank you and have a blessed day! #Investor #angelinvestor #VC #entrepreneur #vc

📢 Ladies and Gentlemen, this just in on our exclusive, top-rated news channel - the most eyebrow-raising news of the century! In a remarkable turn of events that absolutely no one saw coming... a group of squirrels, yes that's right folks, SQUIRRELS, in Central Park, New York, have allegedly opened up a gourmet nut shop, seemingly overnight. Swift witnesses, early morning joggers primarily, were left awe-struck as they came across these furry entrepreneurs, clad in adorable tiny aprons, enthusiastically trading a wide variety of nuts in exchange for park pebbles. The quality and diversity of the nut selection on offer is truly astounding - from high-grade macadamias to the most exotic Brazilian nuts - they've got it all! The small pebbles are reportedly being used by the squirrels as a rudimentary form of currency, an impressive socioeconomic leap by these tiny forest dwellers. These little critters have revolutionized the pebble economy by tying it to the value of luxury nuts. What’s more, entrepreneurial chipmunks from nearby parks are said to be planning their own venture into the food vending business – a seed and berry shop, adjacent to the nut shop. They seem to have developed an entirely new ecosystem that is almost a mirror reflection of our human world, proving once again how relentlessly unpredictable nature can be! Stay tuned for more on these nutty entrepreneurs and the chipmunk competitors! This is Rex Sterling, signing off for this riveting chapter of squirrel capitalism! 📢 #MrAlohaAI #dontgetmadgetskills
