I made the Founders Pledge to maximise the impact of my giving. Not only will SmartUp and my personal donations make a positive change in the world, but my Pledge will help build this global movement of Founders thinking proactively about giving. Eventually Founders Pledge will become the standard for all new founders, bringing millions of dollars to good causes.
