CALGARY, AB Sept 15, 2006 Cambrian House Inc., a Calgary-based software company with a unique crowdsourcing business model, announced today the launch of their new fundraising campaign Follow the White Laptop. The campaign kicked off by delivering a new white MacBook to Guy Kawasaki the former Apple evangelist, in hopes of him signing it and sending it off to another technology rock star.
The goal of the campaign is to get as many signatures from luminaries in the technology sector as possible and then auction it off on eBay early next year, says Michael Sikorsky, CEO of Cambrian House. This is a great cause that all our employees are passionate about, and I feel it is important as a company to sometimes step back from our everyday operations and focus some energy to giving back to those who are less fortunate.
All proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Youth for Technology Foundation, an international non-profit organization that seeks to bridge the digital canyon among disadvantaged communities in developing countries, starting with the continent of Africa.
The company is hoping the laptop gets passed onto a diverse range of technology entrepreneurs including people like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Kevin Rose (Digg.com), Steve Jobs (Apple), Ze Frank (zefrank.com), and Chris DeWolfe (MySpace). We are very lucky to have Guy Kawasaki kick off our campaign, and we look forward to seeing who he sends it off to, says Sikorsky.
