FORGE THE ENGINE IN YOUR COMMUNITY

ImpactClub® turns small donations into huge impact. But more than that, it brings together the Impact Venture Capitalists in each local community, to forge the engine of Impact they all talk about and wish to see.

Superficial* benefits include:

*I say "superficial" because there is no rational measure for the true Impact that ImpactClub® will have on your life, through your connection to other Impact Venture Capitalists, or on the people in your local community.

The T-Shirt: FREE ImpactClub^® T-shirt

Impact Venture Capitalists are committed. There is no going back. It starts the moment you put on the ImpactClub t-shirt. People will see you wear it. They'll inquire about it. "What's ImpactClub?" You'll explain. "It's a community of Impact Venture Capitalists." This prompts more questions. You'll say, "We turn small donations into huge impact." This intrigues them. Their next question. "How can I be a part of that?" Simply by wearing the ImpactClub t-shirt, one person, one conversation at a time, you begin to forge the engine of Impact in your community.
The Card: The Membership Card

It's made of hardened anodized steel. It's one of those things, you'll want to show it to friends. They'll grab it from you. They'll try to bend it. Then grabbing it by the edge, they'll whack it a few times on the edge of a counter. "Yes, it's metal." Don't believe me? You'll witness it for yourself. Then they'll flip it over. On the backside, they'll see the website that gives you access to ImpactClub local concierge service. Don't ask us to pick up your dry-cleaning, that's not what we do. But if you need access to a high-level business contact, community leader, etc. we can probably facilitate that for you. The Membership Card also grants you access to the quarterly ImpactClub Events in your community. What happens if you lose it? Don't lose it. No card. No entrance.
The Magazine: ImpactClub^® Monthly

"Passionately Connected." That's a core value entrenched in our DNA. Which means, Impact Venture Capitalists run in packs. We are tireless in our quest to find others like ourselves. We know to be unbeatable, we must depend on others. We must be connected at the heart and mind, and matched in our level of conviction. But also, we must be in constant communication. To create a Movement of Impact, having real-time access to fellow Impact Venture Capitalists is critical. The Magazine is one component of that. And, if you've never been an addict before, be warned. When ImpactClub Monthly hits your mailbox, you'll feel that dopamine hit. I know, because members report bingeing on it.

THE DNA OF IMPACT VENTURE CAPITALISTS

True Impact Venture Capitalists are easy to spot and instantly recognizable because every Impact Venture Capitalist shares ten core values. These principles are deeply entrenched in their DNA.

Fanatically Enduring

Impact Venture Capitalists are seen as warriors by the people they know. Regardless of their pain, emotional stress or level of fatigue, they have a zeal that does not let them to quit. They have a purpose that drives them. They are eternal optimists. No matter how dark the dawn, they believe tomorrow is a brighter future worth fighting for.

Compulsively Giving

Impact Venture Capitalists understand the truest source of happiness. They are never concerned about the equal-balance of their giving. They give big. They give small. They give their time. Their money. Their resources. They are blinded by a non-stop desire to help others to find their greatest potential.

Unwaveringly Committed

Impact Venture Capitalists are possessed by a hunger to achieve the mission. In the setbacks, they find strength and determination. They fight to the bitter end. Win or lose, they can be counted on to push forward. This dependability creates a culture of trust and unlocks new opportunity.

Simply Inspiring

Impact Venture Capitalists always inspire others because they understand the simplicity of inspiration. One person. One action at a time. They inspire by doing. They simply lead by example. To outsiders, their ability to inspire seems like a magical force.

Passionately Connected

Impact Venture Capitalists run in packs. They are tireless in their quest to find others like themselves. They know to be unbeatable they must depend on others. They must be connected at the heart and mind, and matched in their level of conviction. Because of this, their communities become legendary.

Famously Unique

Impact Venture Capitalists know exactly who they are. They are odd, strange creatures. They have unique strengths and massive weaknesses. They come from every imaginable socio-and-economic background. They are blind to these differences. The DNA that unites them is the strand that makes them compulsive givers.

Fanatically Enduring

Relentlessly Competitive

Impact Venture Capitalists are competitive by nature and tend to gamify everything. They obsess over the score. They have a relentless pursuit to win. They work the hardest when teammates count on them most. Their natural-rhythm is to push others to greatness. By pushing others, they push themselves.

Profoundly Conscious

Impact Venture Capitalists are hyperaware of the surrounding world. They feel people’s pain. Emotions. They have amazing empathy. They trade in relationships. Through their lens everything is interconnected. This comprehension provides them an extreme advantage.

Obsessively Local

Impact Venture Capitalists understand with utter clarity their obsessive desire to invest ‘in the story’ of their community. They think global but act local. They invest in local causes. Local charities. This is where the impact of small donations is multiplied.

Daringly Vulnerable

Impact Venture Capitalists are the first in every room to share their authentic story. They don’t hide from who they are. They don’t wear masks. They let down their guard, and by doing so, risk being judged and hurt. From this place of extreme openness, comes an insane connection to other Impact Venture Capitalists like themselves.

THE 5 DOMINANT CHARACTER TYPES

Most ImpactClub® members don't realize they're Impact Venture Capitalists until they read the 10 core values entrenched in our DNA. Then, one by one, they find themselves saying: "Shit, that's me." So, prior to that, how did they define themselves? We have found, before identifying as an Impact Venture Capitalist, most members identify with one or more of these main 5 Character-types.

Growth Hacker

What the hell is a growth hacker? Let's put it this way. If you don't know what it is, then you're not one. These mythical beings used to reside in the confines of Silicon Valley. Behind every unicorn and fast-growth startup, was a Growth Hacker. Over time, the application of their methods broadened. Their job isn't to "do" marketing as most marketers do. It's to grow companies really fast to take something from nothing and make it enormous within an incredibly tight window. In a phrase: They don't focus on linear growth. They focus on building self-sustaining and self-propagating growth engines.

Growth Hacker

Concious Capitalist

This is a new breed of entrepreneur. They understand the importance of being world-renowned storytellers. These people are driven by a Heroic purpose—to impact the lives of all stakeholders; including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, and society. Through their immense purpose they create evangelists who sing their praises. These visionaries don’t just sell products or services. Eventually, they strive to transform our current world.

Charitable Founder

The defining characteristic of this person is conviction. They are out to right a wrong. To defeat an enemy. To embolden the weak. To uplift the unfortunate. They are ruthless in the name of compassion. In a word, they are fighters. They text message. They send emails. They organize. Their weapon is the message. Their mission is the cause. And despite the direction, all roads point forward.

Affected Families

You know who you are. If your child has fought leukemia. Battles Diabetes. If you’ve lost a sister or mother to breast cancer. A brother to Parkinson’s. A parent to ALS. Or any family member to any other disease. Then you’ve been affected. And these people, they fascinate me. They find strength and conviction in the courage of loved ones. They find hope and inspiration, in times of despair. They’ve seen loved ones at their strongest. And weakest. And most, to honor that family member, have made a vow.

The Connector

It’s not by accident this person is always flooded with opportunity. His singular focus is on relationships. In the words of Tim Ferriss, “My network IS my net worth.” And that motto, is one he’s adopted wholeheartedly. The Connector, he understands: relationships are a conduit to business. To new partnerships. To new opportunities. To fun and adventure. When asked about his success. He keeps telling people. “It’s not what you know. It’s who you know.” But they don’t believe him.

IMPACTCLUB^® IS A GAME

IMPACT AS A GAME IS JUST MORE FUN. Inside the Club, the rules of competition are all laid out. We compete. There are leaderboards, both local and national. Like I said, we push each other. Impact Venture Capitalists operate by team mentality. By pushing others, we push ourselves. By inspiring others, we inspire ourselves. The end result? Massive Impact is made on the local community, directly benefitting the best local charities.

The concept of Impact Venture Capitalism will change the world. You have a choice to say, "I was a part of it."
