Charity Meets Profit: A New Way to Invest in Struggling Companies with Jared Yellin

Jared Yellin discusses his work in Israel, where he acquires distressed software companies and provides them with cash and operational support. In a wildly innovative spin, he’s set up a 501C3 charity called the Innovation Bridge Foundation, which allows high-net-worth individuals and corporations to make charitable contributions and receive tax deductions. The charity then invests in the for-profit portfolio, Create Israel, which acquires distressed companies and turns them around.

3 Key Takeaways:
1. Innovative Investment Model: Jared introduces a groundbreaking approach that leverages philanthropic donations to acquire and scale distressed tech companies in Israel, providing a low-risk opportunity for donors with significant potential for returns.

2. Strategic Use of Capital: Jared explains how his methodology emphasizes the efficient use of capital and operational control to turn around distressed companies and generate sustainable growth without relying on excessive external funding.

3. Philanthropy Meets Profit: Learn about the dual benefit of Jared's model—where donors receive immediate tax deductions while potentially benefiting from the upside of stabilized tech companies, making it a unique win-win strategy.

The world of business is constantly evolving, and so too are the ways we think about investment and corporate responsibility. Blending the objectives of charity with profit-making presents an innovative approach that challenges traditional boundaries.
