Adam Ross/Socialvest

Adam Ross, believing that people inherently want to do good, has made it his mission to turn the traditional business model into a sustainable social enterprise. Two years ago, Adam started his latest adventure as a social entrepreneur and formed Socialvest, a company that capitalizes on three extraordinarily powerful forces: shopping, consumer consciousness and social media. The model allows consumers to buy the things they want and need, while simultaneously giving them a chance to support their favorite causes and inspiring their friends to join them.

“Everyone has something they care about, and fundamentally wants to give back,” Adam says. “My goal is to make it easy for people to invest in social good by providing tools to empower, support, and mobilize.”

Adam’s light bulb moment to start Socialvest came to him during a brunch with some of the world’s largest brands. When the conversation steered towards how the companies gave back, Adam recognized a major disparity in how brands were giving back and why consumers were engaging with brands because of their philanthropic efforts.

So Adam set out to revolutionize the way brands and consumers interact by enabling consumers to shop at hundreds of leading retailers, including Target, Macy’s, Home Depot, Best Buy, Nordstrom and iTunes. Registered users on the Socialvest website can earn money for their favorite charities by simply shopping through the Socialvest site or at participating local stores. And to make online shopping even easier, Socialvest offers a browser toolbar to make sure earning happens automatically.

Socialvest users earn between one and 35 percent of their total purchase from the company’s retail partners. The money earned is automatically deposited into Socialvest users’ online Giving Accounts. Each time a purchase happens, the event and the retailer who made the contribution – can be broadcast to users’ friends via Facebook, Twitter and other social channels. Donations made by Socialvest users to their favorite nonprofits can also be publicized via social media, thus raising awareness for important causes and motivating users’ friends to get involved. Overall, Socialvest gives members the freedom to donate to over 1.5 million nonprofits in the United States.

In addition to running Socialvest, Adam sits on the board for First Step, a non-profit social purpose-staffing agency. He’s also a loving husband to his beautiful wife, Gwen Ross, and new father to an adorable baby girl, Charlotte.

 

Maury Margol/Pyramid Consulting, Inc.

Margol’s Mobile experience also includes his roles as Sr. Director Client Services, at Nielsen Mobile; Director, Business Development, Macquarium Intelligent Communications where he created a Mobile and Wireless practice; Senior Sales Director, North America Sales, Comverse Americas in charge of managing the Atlanta branch and selling into the AT&T, BellSouth, and Cingular, and Director, Wi-Fi Strategy and Product Marketing for BellSouth.
