Mega Startup

A gargantuan venture philanthropy project that is so large in its scope that it is bigger than any one corporation could possibly ever accomplish on its own, thereby requiring a collaborative effort merging large foundations, corporations, business visionaries, thought leaders, celebrities, musicians and athletes to come together to fuel its power.
