Problem 1
6. People often believe that the world’s
problems are too big and that there is
nothing they can do about them.
Problem 1 – Feeling Insignificant
7. GoodBomb empowers people to
better their world through “do-it-
together” collaborative projects.
Solution 1 – “Do It Together”
8. Solution 1 – “Do It Together”
1) Create a Project, describe
the goal, and give it a location.
2) Your new project appears
on a map for everyone in your
local community to see.
3) Connect and collaborate
with like-minded people in
your neighbourhood.
Create, Connect, & Collaborate

3. Barriers to Entry
• People don’t have an easy way to get involved and
help with the issues they care about.
Problem 2
10. Ironically, the things we value most
about community and culture
are often the most underfunded.
Problem 2 – Fundraising Difficulties
…Like our schools…
12. GoodBomb helps organizations raise
money by enabling hyper-local
crowd-funding within communities
Solution 2 – Community Crowd Funding
13. Solution 2 – Community Crowd Funding
1) Crowd-funding can enable people to easily
find and contribute funds to projects that
directly benefit their communities.
2) People can then pool their financial
resources to make good things happen.
3) 100 contributors are more willing to part
with $20 each than a single contributor is to
part with $2000.

Problem 3
15. Regular people who want to help often
don’t because they believe they have
nothing to contribute.
Problem 3 – Barriers to Entry
“61 per cent of the people we surveyed have little
confidence that they have much to contribute to
neighbourhood life.”
