In the news

Conscious Capitalism is all about elevating humanity through business. Our fellow Arizona Chapter President, Brian Mohr, got to experience this first hand with his visit to Televerde’s Perryville call-center. What makes this unique? Besides their intensive training, development and investment in their people, this call center is located in the Arizona Department of Corrections in Perryville. 70% of Telverde’s workforce are inmates. After his visit Brian believes Televerde to be “THE BEST EXAMPLE OF CAPITALISM THAT I’VE SEEN. IT’S WHAT CAPITALISM CAN ASPIRE TO DO AND BE. THE COMPANY IS THE ULTIMATE EXAMPLE OF BUSINESS AS A FORCE FOR GOOD.” Learn more about his experience here. 

Impact

GoCheck Kids is the first iPhone app registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to screen young children for correctable vision impairment with a simple photo. This replaces the need for a $20,000 screening device and can be also be used on kids under 6 years old. They have raised  $20 million in funding so far and have screened over 900,000 kids with the goal of 20 million by 2020.
