About Us
People are capable of extraordinary things when they have a purpose, vision and the means. In our careers, we've seen first hand what a group of commited people can achieve. We've seen businesses grow from nothing into industry disruptors in a few years. We've seen the power of committed people supporting a cause they believe in.
Our core experience is researching, creating, and scaling great businesses. It's what we know and do. So, we asked ourselves, why can't we use our skills to create sustainable, environmentally and socially positive businesses? Why can't we use the power of consumer choice and innovation to make a big measurable impact on the environment and social justice? Why can't we create a business that enables everyone to take direct action?
That's how the idea of Let's Make One was born. The idea of empowering ourselves to change the world. To bring our resources and purpose together for a common goal. To make a future we want.
A better world – let’s make one.
