Karmalize

ABOUT US We're just a couple of guys who turned in our corporate jobs for a different mission: to help people spread good karma by supporting socially responsible businesses. Like most people, we’re passionate about social causes, things like hunger, social justice, and the environment. We try to donate what we can, $300 billion a year to charity from all of us together in the US. Yet we also buy stuff every year. A lot of stuff. $53 trillion lot of stuff. FOR EVERY $1 WE DONATE, WE SPEND $175 ON STUFF. What if we can use these $175 votes in our wallet in a more socially conscious way? Why not spend it with businesses that care, that help the poor, that create jobs for disadvantaged people, that protect our forests and oceans, or whatever social cause you choose? Why not support small businesses everywhere that are Black-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, Native-owned, disability-owned, or minority-owned? WHY NOT? BECAUSE IT'S TOO HARD TO FIND THESE BUSINESSES WHEN WE NEED TO. That’s why we created Karmalize. We’re the world's first and only online directory of socially responsible business, searchable by social cause, and completely crowdsourced by people suggesting businesses to us. The next time you’re looking for a place to eat, a gift to buy, clothes to wear, groceries for the kitchen, or a treat for yourself, use Karmalize to find a business to support and feel good about spending your money there! We’re a social venture and our iOS and Android apps are free to download and use. Come join us and spread good karma with Karmalize! Rich Yap and Eric Burhfeind, Co-Founders
