A Bit More About Us:

We are passionate, excited entrepreneurs determined to make a difference.  We each have our Causes, our passions, our reasons to believe in karma and the well that it fills. We choose to believe success is directly connected to our ability to take care of others, give back and make change. We personally know we can do it….
 
We are…  a parent of three with three different schools asking for “gap” donations, who is personally excited that KarmaWell can help parents and local schools close those gaps.
 
We are…  a PHD who has made a living perfecting the online experience at MicroSoft, Ebay and StubHub who believes he can make this site simply perfect as well so you can easily go causing.
 
We are…  a serial start-up guru who launched DogTime Media, Virtue, Sharkle, Flycast Media and Black Bag Advertising (to name a few), who connected the dots between retailers, advertisers and charities and realized the majority of commissions retailers would usually pay to advertisers could just as easily go to the charities you choose.
 
We are… a former sports marketing executive with a knack for bringing a “cause” layer to community marketing campaigns and sponsorship deals across the NBA, NFL and MLB.  He knows the power of sports related Causes and the passionate communities that surround them
 
We are… moms and dads, who know and understand financial challenges vs. the desire to cut a check and make a difference.  We know your hearts are in the right place and that’s why we want to make it easy, possible and even fun to start making a difference. It’s time to go causing every time you go shopping.  Choose to feel this good!
