About Good search
Our vision: A world in which as many people as possible can bring about positive change. Straightforward, no extra costs and accessible for all. Our story Our idea for GOOD goes back to 2016. At that time, we progressively developed ideas on how we could use our skills, experience and networks to create maximum impact for a better world. We are David Diallo, Kevin Fuchs and Andreas Renner. The founders of GOOD. Together we combine expertise from diverse/different areas: - Andreas with decades of experience in building, mentoring and funding social entrepreneurship initiatives worldwide. - Kevin with his background in new media, web development and co-founding startups in the field of journalism. - David as a visionary, networker and strategist and founder of our Good Impact Foundation. We saw that people all over the world were developing new solutions on their own initiative and that many needed support, especially in the start-up phase. It was clear to us that we could not lead these solutions to success on our own, but that we had to spread the good solutions in order to involve as many people as possible or to inspire them to take action. The formula was: ## Inform → Inspire → Activate Relatively quickly, we had the idea of using a tool as a starting point, which billions of people already use every day anyway, which is easy to use for everyone and, incidentally, brings in money: a search engine. Since 2016, we have first developed the idea, then successively the concept. ## »How can we use our skills, experience and networks to jointly create maximum impact for a better world?« This question marked the start of GOOD From the first, early beta phase, we used all the revenue we generated to support innovative solutions. In May 2018, we were thus able to support the first project – the Replace Plastic App of the association Coast Against Plastic – with 12€. Since then, we have been generating continuously increasing income, so that projects can regularly be supported with up to € 2500 (as of 2022). As a social enterprise, we work without the intention of making a profit; we have completely transferred the company shares to the non-profit foundation Good Impact. With the end of the beta phase, which still ran under the name Gexsi, we will not only take off at the end of 2022 with a new look and new features, but above all with our new name GOOD.
