Special Edition – Agrego Explained and Domogo Relation to it

October 17, 2015

 

Agrego is:

A fully transparent management & incubation platform that seeks to fulfill 3 broad goals:

Redefine the way that wealth is produced, used and distributed
Create a cycle of opportunity that seeks to lift as many people as possible permanently out of poverty
Create a platform for mass philanthropic participation by simply living life normally (fulfil the role that Charities can not)

Immutables of an Agrego Company?

Becomes fully transparent both financially and operationally.

Must simplify financial information that people care about ( management salaries, separation of administration costs etc…)
Live streamed, recorded and publically posted board meetings without edits

All owners/shareholders will have total possible earnings capped to reasonable salaries which will be prominently & publicly displayed
Will work to develop staff towards individual goals and passions
Will strive to create the most ethical service or product achievable with the resources available to them
Work towards a philanthropic cause
Pay a percentage of revenue back to Agrego for funding future Agrego companies

Hacking Capitalism and Using it as a Tool for Good

Agrego models are formed similarly to the way one would think about constructing a computer virus:

We design micro businesses that exploit industry vulnerabilities and are then able to quickly replicate and spread.  Instead of trying to create new resources and methodolgies we latch onto the existing systems and hack it into a force for doing good.

We exploit vunerablitites by targeting industries, products or services that:

Have poor public perception / reputation
Have low employee morale / known for poor worker treatment

We try to improve the likelyhood and ease of  replication or expansion by ensuring our starting models:

Have relatively low startup costs
Have relatively low learning curves in operation, management or ownership 
Have natural product or service offshoots that match the first two criteria
Can have branches / sub elements handed off to beneficiaries

Agrego today

Agrego today is a volunteer board of directors.
Agrego will later be a holding company and a headquarters of sorts that provide franchise type services to Agrego companies.  
We are actively working to prove the Agrego model via 3 case studies. The first of the 3 case studies we are building, is Domogo.

Domogo? (Domo + Go)

“Domo” means “house” in Esperanto
“Go” means to “move from one place or point to another” also “an attempt or trial at something”
Finally it’s an acronym for DO MOre GOod ( DO + MO + GO)

What is Domogo?

A housing products & services brand that fulfills all Agrego immutables.
100% of profit is used in the battle against global homelessness
We are striving towards decentralisation of ownership (must be done without sacrificing or risking Agrego immutables)
We meet the Agrego immutables in all aspects of the company

Domogo's Vision

To eradicate homelessness through cyclical opportunities.

Our Mission / Our Singular Focus / Our Secret Sauce

To create “home” in every encounter ( extended to customers, staff & beneficiaries)
