Founders Pledge is based around using capitalism to make things a bit better. The idea that I could use whatever personal wealth that I might accrue from this to also do good is what I want to do with my life.
Josh Tetrick is the Founder and CEO of JUST (originally Hampton Creek). Josh founded JUST in 2011 and has built the company around this question: "What would it look like if we started over in food?"
