Winning Without Losers?
A Radical Ideal Turned Business Philosophy
Many modern societies are steeped in concepts of excellence, tenacity, battling, and winning. What could possibly be wrong with that? Well, more often than not, the focus is on the perceived cost of success rather than the real cost.
We feel that the cost of success is measured using the wrong metrics - it's not revenue or growth, but the number of people that you ensure can succeed with you.
It's only after organizations find success that they start to think about those who haven't,(if at all). Our founders had a radical concept: What if instead of maniacally focusing on success, we incorporated a social contract that ensured that in our pursuit of excellence we shared the spoils with those involved, even tangentially, in the process?
Our mission
Gaining Through Giving
Our mission is to make the world a better place by providing best in class services in any area we focus. We believe that corporate entities around the world all have a mission of generating profit, as do we, but fail to do enough to give back to the communities in which we operate and whom we serve.
Our vision
Building Together
Altruist operates as a for profit company, providing products and services in the Americas, but unlike corporate entities that "give back" for tax incentives, we dedicate a non trivial amount of our gross revenue towards enabling and enriching the communities in which we operate to help them grow as we do.
Our team
Our strength lies in our how our individual talents mesh together to provide best in class solutions for our clients. Founded by David Thompkins, the team strives to bring and develop the best talent in various fields from all over the globe
