TigerEye is proud to be part of Pledge 1%, a global movement inspiring companies to leverage their resources for positive social impact. We pledged on March 8, 2023, International Women’s Day, just two weeks before launching our company out of stealth, showing it’s never too early to make a commitment to giving back.
By committing 1% of our equity and time, we’re building a foundation for lasting impact. On #GivingTuesday this week, Pledge 1% celebrated 10 years with 18,000+ members across 130 countries and $2.4 billion in equity commitments, proving that doing good is good business. The milestone was marked at the Nasdaq, led by Amy Lesnick and Scott Farquhar.
In practice, Pledge 1% at our company means quarterly volunteer weeks for our fully remote team to meet and give back locally, or volunteer events at offsites to focus on meaningful projects outside of software. We’ve worked with wonderful organizations including SF-Marin Food Bank, City of Dreams, Alameda Food Bank, Feed My Starving Children, Plymouth Area Coalition Turkey Drive, Waconia Food Shelf, and many others.
We encourage more companies to join early to leverage a portion of their future success to support nonprofits in their communities. We’re thankful for the support of our VCs, including Y Combinator, Next47, and Initialized Capital, in helping us prioritize impact. It’s also great for building a strong internal culture and recruiting those who share a commitment to making a difference.
