Karmalize

Karmalize is a Dallas-based online directory of socially responsible businesses, connecting conscious consumers with impactful brands. We’re just a couple of guys who turned in our corporate jobs for a different mission: to help people support socially impactful businesses. Rich Yap Founder & CEO Plano, TX Eric Buhrfeind Co-Founder & Chief Karma Officer Binghampton, NY What we care about Making it really easy for anyone to create personal social impact! But how? Here's a thought.

For every $1 we all spend on stuff, we set aside only 2 cents to support social causes we care about. What if we can use the other 98 cents in our wallet in a more socially impactful way AND still buy the stuff we want? Why not spend it with businesses that care, that help the poor, that create jobs for disadvantaged people, that protect our forests and oceans, or whatever social cause you choose? Why not support small businesses everywhere that are Black-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, LGBTQ-owned, Native-owned, disability-owned, or minority-owned? We help small businesses get noticed for their social impact – like sustainability, equality, and human rights.

1. We’re the world’s first and only online global directory of socially impactful business, searchable by social cause, and completely crowdsourced. 2. We publish stories about them, their owners, their impact, and how we can all follow a socially conscious consumer lifestyle. 3.

We run an online bookshop that also serves to help people learn more about social causes. We personally read, curate, and maintain a recommended booklist for each of the 17 UN SDG social causes.
