Recapitalism (the brand) will be a business model based on giving back to local communities through an endowment-like process, with an initial (and likely ongoing) focus on education and infrastructure. Given that the business and idea are marking their beginning in Long Beach, this will be our first community project focus. We expect to increase our analytic sophistication with growth, so that purchases and contributions made from other locations can be directed into community-based projects that are local to the activity. This will increase the visibility of the Recapitalism project and demonstrate tangible impact of partnering with the program.
In addition, the project aims to be highly transparent so as to encourage feedback and participation. The better our margins, the more the community benefits, so we want to share our successes and challenges in a way that is visible to everyone. From capital raised to margins to who gets paid what, to the endowment and exact community contributions, all information related to Recapitalism operations will be shared publicly so that our customers and partners remain aware of their sustainable financial impact on society.
I'm fully aware that very little of what I've been writing makes little sense to most people at this point. Recapitalism is still a theory without a practice, and is a complex adaptation on the current capitalistic paradigm. And I'm using big words with no tangible operation with which to relate them. That stops with our next entry, as we roll out our first product entries, our income and community reinvestment structure, and begin reporting our progress. We'll also need the community's assistance in many areas of the operation, and of course we'll need everyone's support of the program in order to grow our vision. Buy into the movement, support the community, and have some SWAG to show your support.
We'll unveil the grassroots storefront shortly!
