Imagine this, you buy a vegan meal, click some pictures, type out what you thought about it and upload it for the world to see. For every such review, you raise $1, which you can donate to make an impact. Every dollar counts in today’s times and abillion is showing you exactly that.

Driven by the idea of building a global community of conscious people and businesses, abillion has a new mission in mind. They want to raise $1 million to donate to its partner charities in 2021. Their partner charities cover a range of 65 organisations working towards world hunger, animal welfare, farm rescue and vegan outreach from all over the world.
 

“Effecting change is as easy as posting a review”

We believe in creating impact, so we’ve committed what other tech platforms would spend on marketing towards helping people or animals in need. We want to demonstrate that something as small as eating a vegan meal or buying an environmentally friendly product and sharing that experience with the world can create ripples throughout society and beyond.” says Vikas Garg, founder and CEO of abillion.

 

When we asked what his story behind abillion is, Vikas mentions "I spent most of my career working in Wall Street, finance, trading and hedge funds. I had this whole career that existed outside of my social values. I decided that I was ready to start my own company and I felt there was an opportunity to align my own virtues and values and the things I care most about in my life with my work. I wanted to create something that helps animals because I love animals and have been a part of the animal rights movement since a young age. I wanted to help people close this gap from where being sustainable feels like a sacrifice to where being sustainable is just doing the right thing and the best thing. So in 2017, I began this journey and I haven’t looked back since."  

 

They have over 300,000 users who have generated 620,000 reviews of vegan foods and cruelty-free products. The app not only helps people discover vegan products, but also allows the user to choose where they would like their money to be donated. All the businesses mentioned are given access to these reviews to encourage them and also.

Every dollar makes a difference and every review will too.

"For many of the charities we work with, even a single dollar can make a difference. One dollar can feed a child for a day, send a young girl to school for a day, or help plant a tree. With this shift, we want our members to feel that every review counts, that every single time they post a review, not only are they helping peers discover great vegan dishes or cruelty-free products, they are driving real change."
