FAIR SHARE INNOVATION

Fair Share Innovation (FSI) is designed to level the playing field for creators, founders and problem-solvers around the world who have the grit but lack access or keys to the gate. 

Gatekeepers and paywalls prevent innovators from getting their products from napkins to shelves. 

FSI exists to amplify better ideas—not just better-funded ones—and to ensure everyone, regardless of geography or pedigree, gets the same shot at success as those born into networks of power (ie, money, connections, etc.). 

FSI rewards merit, not status. 

FSI funds creativity, not connections. 

FSI builds systems that uplift and give people hope. 

FSI adamantly and unapologetically rejects all forms of exploitation. 

Fair Share Innovation is NOT built to cater to ego, privilege or to excuse unfairness.  It is designed to redirect wealth, access, and innovation toward dignity, opportunity, and lasting impact. 

Is FSI about "entitlement"? 

Absolutely!  The best products and services should be "entitled" to the same access to marketing dollars, distribution channels and social media reach as those with million-dollar budgets. 

It's high time that those who deserve their fair share get a fair shake; the best products and services deserve a fair chance.

Cryptography/IP: References to “Merkle hash,” “SHA-256,” and other algorithms are descriptive only. These are open standards. FSI claims no ownership or proprietary rights. No license, contract, or warranty over these algorithms is created by making a gift.

No Advice: FSI does not provide tax, legal, or financial advice. Please consult your own professional advisor.

Eligibility: By giving, you confirm you are of legal age and lawful capacity in your jurisdiction.
