Co-Founder and former CEO of SimpleGeo, Matt Galligan has set his sights on working with companies to give up a percentage of its worth to charity.
Along with investor Shervin Pishevar, Matt Galligan would like to think about dedicating a part of a company’s future to social good. Their project, 1% of Nothing, is now actively asking for startup founders and employees to pledge 1% of a company’s equity to a charitable organization or good cause that the company has specific interest in.
