1minute HelpJapan.co Pitch - become a socially responsible Halliburton for Natural Disaster Response and Recovery

Trout talks about his vision and goal for HelpJapan.co



HelpJapan.co is a social venture with a goal to become a socially responsible "Halliburton" for Global Natural Disaster Response and Recovery.

We all know how Halliburton abused the plight of the Iraq people and made 100s of millions off the Iraq war. What if we could provide similar services and solutions via the 4000+ Integrator companies that support the US Government, but do it in a socially responsible way that re-invests profits back into:

1. scaling up to help provide every impacted community the solutions and services they need
2. providing free solutions and services to the victims

Social Ventures aim to be accountable and transparent. Unlike NPOs, NGOs and public/private corps Social Ventures provide a 100% transparency to all stakeholders (contributors, partners and investors).

As a result of our efforts to help Japan we would also be helping American companies by providing more business opportunities to the 4000+ US Integrator support companies that actually do the heavy lifting for the large Integrators (GM, Lockheed, BAE Systems, etc...).

HelpJapan.co goal is to becomes a facilitator for its US and global small to mid-sized business partners by identifying the need and providing the solutions creating a win-win for both the US and Japan...

what if as a result we could scale up to becoming a 1st response services & solutions company for global disaster recovery?... Think of the good we could do. If we are successful I see no reason why we could not set aside a $billion fund to help those directly impacted by providing 0 interest loan and financing allowing victims to recover NOW and not wait in line for the next 5 years for the assistance they require.  And most importantly we can be ready for the next disaster and be proactive and not reactive.  This is a powerful idea and vision and I need your help and assistance to launch.

Why not help it come to pass by becoming a stakeholder by contributing to http://helpJapan.co and helping us reach our $100K launch goal! So far we have secured $25K in pledges and contribution.

We are also actively seeking Prime Partners (8 slots remaining).
Thanks for your support!
