To summarize what we mean in our description of the types of businesses we build, human powered= businesses that incorporate minimal use of AI. Subsisting instead on a primarily human workforce. Worker centric= businesses that place a premium on fair profit distribution, worker compensation and favorable working conditions. Sustainable= businesses that optimize operating practices in a way that results in minimal negative impacts on the environment. American= businesses that employ a predominantly America based workforce.
Our mission is to capture the skills, ingenuity and determination of those who have been sidelined in the current economic climate due to AI, outsourcing, and lack of entry level job opportunities. We want to harness these tools and use them to create businesses that not only offer great products and services but also re-direct the dominant business culture in a manner that positively impacts society.
We believe that building a large network of businesses incorporating the principles mentioned above in their practices, that also offer a plethora of product and service options, can reduce the need to patronize the ones with practices that negatively impact society. Over time and through competition this will create a ripple effect transforming the dominant business culture in our society and addressing many of the problems stemming from it.
Whether lack of employment opportunities and the AI take over, wealth inequality and the problems it creates, or pollution and the climate crisis, we believe each of these problems are rooted in the ethics and culture of the companies upon which we rely and thus must be addressed there. One of the ways to do this is through actively choosing to engage only with businesses that don’t contribute to these problems. Our objective is to build a large network of those alternatives, as well as highlight the ones that already exist. For more information about us visit “Our Mission “.
