Austin’s entrepreneurial community is known as the most culturally conscious & socially impactful in the country. By our actions, we help elevate our companies and our communities.
Leadership Projects
Over the years, we've had the opportunity to give back on a larger scale and in a very meaningful way:
- Created a strategic plan for Huston-Tillotson University;
- Helped the Chestnut Neighborhood develop the first Austin neighborhood plan;
- Raised hundreds of thousands of dollars (& coordinated millions) to help local nonprofits increase their capacity to serve Katrina evacuees in Central Texas after the 2005 Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans;
- Built Austin Lemonade Day program to relaunch youth entrepreneurship training in Central Texas - over 95,000 kids in Central Texas have participated, selling over $1.9 million and donating over $85,000 to local non-profits;
- Raised & strategically invested $1.5 million in international and domestic Haitian agencies providing relief after the 2010 Haiti earthquake;
- Helped repair water delivery systems and rebuild a school in the Philippines after the 2013 Typhoon "Yolanda'' in the Philippines; and
- Adopted the Central Texas breast cancer service organizations — providing capacity & competency building assistance, helping grow programs from an episodic focus to a continuum of needs, and graduated the agencies with a sustainable, new source of funding - the Texas Mamma Jamma Ride against breast cancer.
