ProjectFresh was founded in 2002 as a platform to launch projects and companies that have a shared set of goals:

• To galvanize community and to promote cross-pollination.
• To inspire and facilitate personal and cultural growth.
• To explore how new technologies impact society.

We achieve these goals by designing experiences that mix disciplines, such as Mindshare LA; bringing together people with diverse skills to create unique companies like Syyn Labs; or twisting together the unexpected, as in the charitable-meets-public-improv exploits of The Tuxedo Tyrants.

Whether exploring technology's role in democracy or the framework of conscious capitalism, ProjectFresh promotes mindful inquiry by offering a variety of perspectives. ProjectFresh further extends its impact by connecting and collaborating with other community groups.

2009 - Cause Its My Birthday took the lessons of The Tuxedo Travels to another level: 7 days, 7 cities, 7 parties.

By leveraging social media and crowd sourced events in seven cities (New York, Miami, New Orleans, Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles) the duo raised $20k for malaria prevention.

At its core, the project highlighted birthdays as a time to think not about what we want, but more about what we have to give.

But now, with the announcement their first 2011 event, they usher in a new era. In an effort to win back some community kharma - while still infusing their legendary brand of fancy hedonism, the Tyrants are nor teaming up with local organizations to benefit the community. OK, perhaps over a glass of champagne or three.
