Crossover Capitalist

Not Either/Or but And/Also

About the author

My name is Garrett Melby and I am a Crossover Capitalist, working in the white space between the traditional fields of capitalism and philanthropy. Public and private interests are not conflicting values in a zero sum equation and should not be viewed as either/or (e.g. “Either I will serve the people or serve myself.”) or if/then (e.g. “If I get rich, then I will become a philanthropist.”) propositions. This blog promotes the premise of and/also.

I am currently CEO of GoodCompany Ventures, an incubator for crossove companies. We support social entrepreneurs developing forprofit, market based solutions to unmet social needs.

The GCV incubator serves social entrepreneurs and venture capitalists, kind of like this fine establishment. www.goodcompanyventures.org
