Short Summary
I am a
social entrepreneur with a wicked passion for powersports and deep desire to
help others. Throughout my entire life, I have been immensely fortunate
to be able to enjoy powersports with some amazing people.
Unfortunately,
not everyone
has been blessed with the same opportunities. Some people in the world
have to bravely overcome physical and mental limitations every day, while
others don't even have clean water to drink.
That's where my campaign comes in. I am
building a community for powersports enthusiasts to transform their riding
experience into sponsor-funded charitable donations. Essentially, I am
funneling my passion into a business that can make positive improvements in my
life and the life of others that are overcoming challenges. My vision is
to make every ride impactful.
I can't do it without your support. We can make a true difference in people's lives by having a blast and maximizing impact at
the same time.
What We Need
In order to make a HUGE impact, I need your help building the foundation with some of the business essentials below:
- $2,500 - A laptop that can help me create videos and t-shirt designs, while being reliable enough to maintain business files and social media platforms. My current laptop is barely hanging on. I would also use the money for a work desk, docking station, monitors, and a printer.
- $600 - A cell phone I can use to build relationships with charities and sponsors while managing Impact Fuel's mobile social network.
- $500 - Sponsor pool. By putting this money into my sponsor pool, this will give me an opportunity to build my user base while identifying sponsors, which helps me overcome my primary business risk.
- $500 - Website development fees
- $500 - Accountant fees
- $400 - Attorney fees
If I don't reach my goal, I will use any of the funds I gather to offset the startup costs.
The Impact
By contributing to this cause, you will be building a foundation for me to positively improve countless lives. What you give today will compound exponentially over time.
Risks & Challenges
The biggest risk I face is that my business will rely primarily on sponsors to fill a donation pool. In order for sponsors to benefit though, I will also need a user following. In order to have a user following, I need to have money in my donation pool. It is a "chicken and egg" scenario.
I have been extremely fortunate to be surrounded by friends and family that have volunteered to be my first sponsors, which will put me at $250 in my donation pool on day 1 of my launch. This campaign, along with my sponsors, will largely help mitigate my primary risk.
I am confident that I can overcome these challenges once I have the right tools and equipment in place.
