Raleigh Founded

Had a great time last Thursday representing EisnerAmper with Max Belsinger, CPA at the Kickball for a Cause event hosted by Raleigh Founded. $5,000 was raised for the Journeymen Youth Mentor Program. A huge shoutout to Lauren Romer and the Raleigh Founded team for making it happen, and all for a good cause.

Hurricane Helene hit close to home—literally. With our parent company, Karma Wallet based right here in Raleigh, NC, we’ve seen the devastating impact firsthand across our state and the Southeast. That’s why, from today through Thursday, we're donating 100% of our profits here at DoneGood to the Hurricane Helene Relief Fund. Your purchases will provide food, clean water, emergency medical supplies, and support for long-term recovery in communities that need it most. Some of our brand partners have been affected too, so we appreciate your patience with any shipping delays as we prioritize getting help where it’s needed most. Let's rebuild together. Every dollar counts.??? You can learn more about our donation partner GlobalGiving & their efforts here ???https://lnkd.in/e_ZukVNE

"The Bump Factor" is often overlooked when discussing Blue Co. Warehousing It refers to the power of community and the positive impact of bringing people together to foster connections. I experienced this firsthand when I co-founded Raleigh Founded 11 years ago, and it was one of my motivating factors when starting Blue Co. In business, success often depends on who you know and creating an environment where people have the opportunity to network and connect with others to grow their businesses. This is where "the bump factor” can be really powerful. Just last week, Kevin, the CEO of one of our member companies, CPM Painting, shared his experience at Blue Co. He told me he had made connections that generated business that he otherwise would not have made. He mentioned, "I paid for my first year's rent in the first month," and talked about sharing a booth with Dogwood Moving Co. at an upcoming home show. Gabi's - Powered by Special Abilities is another company that has been invaluable to Blue Co. They provide fulfillment services and work with several businesses, including Vital Plan, Poppy and Pink, Nyssa and Withernot. In a little over a year, it's great to see that we're becoming more than just a storage space.
