Problem Statement.
Poverty Slayer seeks to address multiple problems
- Improvements in the Human Development Index for many countries is happening at too low a rate. Foreign Aid and Charitable donations poured into these countries is largely wasted.
- As a result of increased competitive pressures many workplaces have become toxic and harmful to employee’s mental health. This then adversely affects family life.
- Start-up companies fail at too high a rate
- Start-up companies that do reach scale frequently create a new set of social problems. Think Facebook and disinformation, or Theranos and inaccurate diagnostic tests.
- Global warming is causing problems at an increasing rate. The rate of production of environmental entrepreneurs needs to be increased.
We acknowledge that common wisdom suggests that success occurs more frequently when one narrowly defined problem is targeted. It just happens that our approach addresses all of these without adding complexity.
