Our North Star
Our North Star goal is to maximize lifetime earning increases for every dollar we invest.
We have an ambitious initial impact target of driving over $100 in lifetime earnings gained per dollar spent.
We take impact prediction and measurement seriously, as we believe it holds us accountable to achieving results and encourages ambitious proposals from our partners. We will follow every dollar we invest to track how it maximizes the lifetime earnings of individuals.

We are building the systems, tools, partnerships and services that help other donors and funders do the same.
