Today we welcome André Eikmeier, Founder & CEO of Good Empire, a global impact platform reshaping how we engage with social and environmental change. With a background as a successful entrepreneur, having previously built a $100M business, and a mission to build a better world, André has dedicated himself to empowering individuals and organizations to unite for the 17 Global Goals.

Key Takeaways

Web3 as a Coordination Layer - Governments and policy alone can't solve global challenges like the 17 Global Goals. Web3 offers a powerful alternative by acting as a decentralized coordination layer, connecting individuals and organizations to collaborate on impact projects at scale.
Gamifying Good - Doing good doesn’t have to feel like a chore. By introducing reward mechanisms and gamification through Web3 tokenomics, platforms like Good Empire are making impact work fun, engaging, and rewarding, incentivizing more people to take part.
Transparency and Trust Through Blockchain - Blockchain technology provides unparalleled transparency for the impact sector. From tracking funds raised and spent to verifying real-world outcomes, it restores trust and strengthens connections between donors and the causes they support.
