Karma Tribe Launches Crowdfunding Campaign to Change the World with Kindness

JACÓ, Costa Rica, Nov. 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Costa Rican start-up, Karma Tribe, announced yesterday the launch of their crowdfunding campaign during the month of November. The campaign seeks to raise $50,000 in order to create a mobile-friendly application for sharing skills and resources, and to develop a special "projects" feature enabling local groups around the world to organize and take action for social and environmental causes.

Since its inception in 2016, Karma Tribe, a global network of people willing to help each other for free, has grown to over 3100 members in 56 countries. Members offer and request services on karmatribe.com from the heart, with no expectations of anything in return. "In many countries, people have smartphones but no computer," said Dave Grillot, founder of Karma Tribe. "In order to serve these communities, we need to make our platform easy to access. We are also developing a projects feature which will enable local groups to organize activities for social betterment like the beach clean-ups that we're doing in Jacó, which have already removed 600kg of garbage from the beach."

The crowdfunding campaign will be hosted by Indiegogo's Generosity site, a place for campaigns intended for the good of society. Karma Tribe plans to offer some gifts for different levels of donation including "Karma Cards," T-shirts, virtual badges for a person's profile on the Karma Tribe platform, and even adventure experiences in Costa Rica.

Founded last year by Canadian expat Dave Grillot in Pochotal, Costa Rica, Karma Tribe is a new addition to the technology landscape of Latin America and currently has over a thousand "favors" listed on its website. Through Karma Tribe's online platform, members give and receive everything from recipes and language instruction to travel advice and computer help. "Mariana became fluent in English after four months of Karma Tribe lessons. It changed her life because it allowed her to get the job she wanted. We plan to spread this technology for collaboration worldwide, and enable millions to help each other," said Grillot.
