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.
