about carrotmob

Carrotmob is a mechanism for making "sustainable" business choices also the most profitable choices. Our consumer mobs set up competitions to reward businesses that agree to do more than their competitors to advance sustainability. The mob brings the winning business direct financial benefits and marketing value.

Virgance is taking Carrotmob to a whole new level by utilizing social networks like Facebook to scale the idea to run thousands of contests all over the world.

We are building the app now and Virgance is working on launching Carrotmob on Facebook this fall.

about lend

Lend Me Some Sugar is a way to crowdsource corporate philanthropy. What we do is ask corporations to give their philanthropic budgets to Virgance.

Then, Virgance gives our users proxy power to donate that money to the pre-certified project(s) of their choice. Instead of having the corporate bureaucracy decide what good causes will receive the money, we give our members the power to decide where it goes. Our goal is to create a mutually-beneficial paradigm shift in power whereby citizens have a say in what programs and non-profits companies should support.

We are currently building our team for Lend so contact us if you want in.

about greenfund

The idea behind Greenfund is to create the first crowdsourced venture capital fund whereby we empower each and every person on all of the social networks to invest up to $100 dollars in Greenfund and become a voting partner of the fund.

Greenfund then works with its members who vote to invest in the companies or projects that cause the most positive impact.

If the hundreds of millions of people using Facebook and MySpace all signed up, Greenfund would be a multibillion dollar, community-powered fund that would rival the financial power of the World Bank.
