The Mutual social enterprise is an online community network and phone app that melds business with charity. The goal is to get people donating to a cause of their choice on a monthly basis (you can join for $10 a month) while at the same time drawing on companies to provide rewards such as discounts, first place reservations and other services.
Dan Vellejo, originally a communications professional who has worked at Ogilvy and Johnson & Johnson, is the CEO and Founder of the Mutual social enterprise, which is now based in Brooklyn, New York City.
