Neighbor Funded exists to help new businesses get funded without needing to take on investors or crippling debt. I wanted to make this as an alternative to crowdfunding (which is often times just selling before you actually make the product or service) and just see if we can leverage the size of X and the generosity of random people to make more small businesses a reality. This is not about making money on an investment, it's about helping the little guy and keeping Main Street, not Wall Street, as the foundation of our economy. Banks are seeking to make money, investors are seeking to make money, we are seeking to help businesses get going simply for the fact that we believe small businesses are good for the economy and good for us.
Any and all gifts will be used to help fund small business ventures. I am still figuring out the exact way this is all going to work, but I wanted to take action. As a small business owner myself, I have met so many people with a desire to pursue an idea but without the means to do it. Neighbor Funded is to help those ideas become a reality via the generosity of the people. There are millions of people on this platform, let's leverage that for something good.

Negotiation tips- precision anchoring
When negotiating, don't throw out whole numbers. If you are buying a house and you offer $300K, it feels arbitrary. If you offer $301,600, it signals that it was calculated rather than pulled out of thin air. It is harder to counter against a calculated number than a random one.

What @MrBeast has done is absolutely incredible and inspiring.
Our dream is to do similar things for people dreaming of starting a business.
Not investments, not crippling debt. Just no strings attached funding to make their business dreams possible.
Big Dreams, Baby steps.
It’s kind of crazy the amount of good we’ve been able to do thru a YouTube channel

10,000,000+ Meals to people in need
500,000 People getting water from our wells we built
$3,000,000 To war refugees for supplies
$1,000,000+ Clothes to people in need
20,000 Shoes to kids in Africa
3,000 People helped walk again
1,000 Deaf people helped hear
1,000 Blind people helped see
100+ Houses for homeless people
100+ Cars given away
100s Of Dogs rescued

The type of small business that can change your life and give you freedom to work on your terms.
$15K a month business idea:
One person who handles office plants.
Install them.
Water them.
Replace the dead ones.
50 offices at $300/month would get there.
I'd rather sell that than convince another founder they need a personal-branding mastermind.
