On January 18th I'm inviting you to participate in my HumanIPO.
What is it?
I'm offering you to invest buying my TIME and redeem it for a walk (if you happen to be in Vilnius), phone or zoom call to ask me anything you want from my past and present experience, lessons learnt in life and business to unlock your own achievements or replicate mine (if you wish). Or sell it later at a higher price if monetization seems a better option for you.
How you can participate?
Check my profile at HumanIPO - it starts on January 18th 12PM.
Why me?
I'm a self-made businessman, investor and philanthropist.
While investing I always prefer active v passive, contrarian v conventional approach.
I deeply believe that in today‘s rapidly changing, fiercely competitive world, you don‘t simply find opportunities. You must create them. Creating opportunities fuels performance.
I've experienced remarkable journey from zero to hero three times already (and twice in between to zero again) - that helped me mature both as an individual as well as a professional.
Why you should invest in my IPO?
If Why me part hasn't raised your interest to spend your hard earned money on me, please find it below some more reasons:
1) my investment portfolio performance in 2020 was in triple digits with annualized return siting close to 50 per cent.
2) I added / traded some new asset classes which contributed quite handsomely to the total performance.
Buy my time to learn more about my investment strategy, asset allocation, main drivers for such performance and how you can use it for your own benefit.
3) Social projects we run at M. Čiuželio labdaros ir paramos fondas (M. Ciuzelis Charity Foundation) continue to progress breaking one record after another (in terms of penetration, funds raised, a number of new services added) and
4) those achievements in philanthropy / social entrepreneurship area were well noted with nomination granted as the most social responsible businessman working for the elderly and the Award by Lithuania's Patronage Council with the title of Patron of Vilnius City Municipality.
Buy my time and let's talk about social return vs financial, is it possible to have both, how to combine them. Or maybe you want some advise how to start your own social initiative but still not sure where and how to start? Buy my time.
What lies ahead?
For profit sector
Some new investment ideas are emerging - hope to launch / start them in Q1'21. Expected performance is super attractive and they will add nicely to my (or maybe yours also) portfolio.
Not for profit sector
1) new services at our befriending and support helpline for the elderly Sidabrine linija (the Silver Line)
2) completely new ITT infrastructure at Sidabrine linija (the Silver Line) which will allow us to cross-board the country and start offering our services in other countries too
3) new social services for the elderly (if pandemic allows)
4) development of new fundraising tools - with a code name USUP
Follow the news, there will be much more.
Why I'm not offering my time on pro bono basis?
In 2021 I decided to share my time on pro bono basis with two organizations: NVO Akseleratorius (NGO Accelerator) and Rotary Academy providing them with my expertise and mentorship. The 1st one - it's an old dream (or ambition of you like) of mine to have a strong ecosystem for social entrepreneurship in Lithuania and will use all my efforts to help it prosper. The 2nd one - as a 2021-2022 President Elect at Lituanica International Rotary Club I take it as one my duties' for Rotary Community.
Participating in my HumanIPO you can TRADE my time for a profit and by doing so support our social initiatives - all proceeds will go to our family's charity foundation.
The last piece of advise on pro bono basis:
Invest early to gain the most. Buy my time at IPO, a price will tend to increase later.
