"At nrg, we don't just sell you insurance; we go to bat for you, coming and going. We are on your side. Not just during crisis times but for your day-to-day needs before a loss, as well. We'll wrestle with any company to see that you get everything you're due, from getting coverage, to being sure your claims are paid, to reinstating cancelled policies. No, we don't always win. But we can do whole lot better for you than anybody else can. But first, let us help you identify what you value….. If you're going to make wise decisions, you have to know what you're risking. Being underinsured risks everything. Not just your business, equipment, and your house, but your children's well-being and your permanent peace of mind. If you're in business or you have kids, there's no excuse for gambling with what's not yours to lose. Being overinsured is a bad idea, too. It locks up money you could spend in much better ways. Besides, insurance isn't the only way to mange your risk. This is one time when gambling never pays off. Instead, have us identify and analyze your risk right now, today - before you suffer a loss. We want to insure that what you value is protected. We sell a promise. You redeem that promise when something you value is threatened or lost."

Moka Joe is a wholesale roaster of 100% Fair Trade, certified organic, bird friendly, shade grown, Kosher coffee. We work hard to entice the hundreds of natural compounds found in coffee beans into wonderful roasts and blends to suit every taste and preference. We are a small-batch, wholesale micro-roaster that deeply cares about the origins and growing methods used to create your cup of coffee, almost as much as you care about the flavor and aroma. We became a B Corp to challenge ourselves to step up to be as socially and environmentally responsible as we can as individuals and as a company. Arabica beans have the most flavor and aroma of all coffee beans. At higher elevations the beans grow and develop more slowly, leading to more complex and enhanced flavor characteristics. These are the beans we search out to purchase and roast into specialty premium gourmet coffees. As orders come in, our roastmaster selects the combination of beans and roasts them in small batches. This roasting process uses less direct heat so the roast is more gently controlled, ending with a consistent product with consistent taste - batch after batch.

"Entrepreneur Commons is a platform to support entrepreneurs through self-help groups and loans. The fund is managed by a not-for-profit social network of entrepreneurs - a support platform that can scale, and that also provides a way to screen deals, based on inclusion of every entrepreneur into the process rather than exclusion through a competitive process. It is especially useful to social entrepreneurs, for whom the regular funding processes do not really work. And it simplifies the investment decision for social investors because success can easily be measured - when the beneficiary businesses are social businesses and loans (with rates that can be benchmarked against market returns) are paid off, then the social investor can be satisfied that he has done his part."

Such transformation is indispensable to a Great Transition toward a just and livable world."
