BUSINESS 55

Launched: November 7, 2007
It was November 2007, almost a year since we had last attended Oduro Takyi's
"Business Entrepreneurship 55", but we were glad to be in a room full
of Silicon Valley's future entrepreneurs. We began with a case study.
We recounted the early steps that Google took as it grew from an idea,
to a small company and eventually a multi-national corporation.

JUMP!
JUMP!

Launched: October 7, 2007
Jumping rope is a great form of exercise and play, both of which children need more of. With this project, we hope to remind not just kids, but also parents of the small steps they can take to get and stay healthy. With the recent release of the Disney movie, "Jump In", we hope to add to the returning popularity of jumprope as a favored form of play. Together we can get kids stronger, faster, and smarter.

Well Done
WELL DONE

Launched: May 17, 2007
The lack of safe drinking water remains one of the most pressing and debilitating problems facing the developing world. Without a basic foundation of safe drinking water and sanitation, the work to improve health care, eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, increase access to education, and address nearly every other non-violent humanitarian crisis facing the developing world, all remain nearly impossible. We at BRUTE LABS believe that through our simple efforts and the resources we have access to, we can make a profound difference in this matter, be it even for a single village or a small group of children. In response to this belief, we have partnered with Pioneers-Africa, an organization stationed in Ghana, to implement a well drilling project in a remote village in the country. To find out more about the project and how you can help, please follow the link below.

PICTURE THIS

Launched: January 2, 2007
There’s something about a familiar voice sharing her experiences about doing something she’s passionate about. A bit of human contact speaks loudly when mass media and slogans have made us drunk with images and sounds. “We can actually change things,” she said whilst I was sipping my Starbucks coffee, “if we could just each take small actions that contributed to a movement.”
