Kinder update

Kinder update

Like many of you know we had to file for bankruptcy for my tech-for-good social enterprise Kinder exactly one year ago.

Fortunately we were able to buy the IP, goodwill, inventory, supplies in one package from the insolvency already after six weeks. This allowed us to continue our mission with a clean slate. Three angel investors helped us find product market fit.

Strategic Philanthropy

With our charity vetting data we advise brands and philanthropists who want to strategically and consistently contribute to the planet in the most impactful way. We do workshops with companies, individuals or families that want to structurally make a difference. Together we investigate the topics and themes that fit and we develop their giving strategy.

Then we help execute that strategy by searching, vetting and benchmarking the charities that match. The top performing ones are selected for the tailored United Actions and funds are distributed based on the effectiveness scores. We also publish the United Actions so other donors (big or small) can contribute to speed up change even faster. Kinder constantly monitors the picked charities to maintain the quality, helps them to improve and generates reports for the progress they make. Together with all the stakeholders (the beneficiaries, community and influencers around the theme, the charities, the brands) we communicate and ‘market’ the United Actions to reach wide audiences and supporters.

We've finalized the first project which resulted in a 5 year large donation for the Systemic Change United Action. 💪🍀 (check it out here).

Transactions for Good

We have been developing all sorts of tech to empower other businesses to donate effectively though our tools and charity data. There are a variety of use cases and pilot clients for this.

1. Webshops can donate a percentage (or fixed amount) of their sales.

2. Businesses can dedicate an integral part of their business model to charity. This has very positive effects on HR, sales conversion rates, retention and community support. More and Moree companies are going down this route. For B corps it is even a requirement.

3. Through our Transactions-for-good infrastructure NFT and other Web3 projects can easily connect their smart contracts in a future proof sustainable way.

Open for business

If you are interested in learning more about any of these use cases, please contact me!

Open for investments

We are also raising again because we have big ambitions. If you want to play a role please also let me know, I'll gladly present all the tech and our plans.
