Avoiding wealth?---Here's my plan.

EnviroAI

---“I’ve seen lots of people do financial planning to increase wealth. I might be the first entrepreneur in history to do financial planning to avoid personal wealth.”- Jed Anderson, CEO, EnviroAI

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WEALTH. People do incredible things with it. Lots are great with it. It’s not my gift. It would personally make me miserable. I’ve therefore got to have a plan going into a successful business to avoid it in the first place. If I don’t, I’m going to have to deal with it. And the odds of escaping wealth once you’re stuck with it appear to me to be very low … much lower than the odds of escaping poverty.

My Plan to Avoid

Personal Wealth

(while building a $ billion-plus

business to save earth and humanity)

‌

• Salary & Benefits < $350k - I can’t let my annual income exceed this number without it impacting my lifestyle.

• 7 Figure Net Worth - I’m already in 7 figures. I refuse to get to 8. Anything above this number in terms of my interest in EnviroAI will be returned to the company.

---“I’ve got to make lots of other people lots of money . . .that’s the fastest way to building this machine to save nature and humanity. For-profits can change the world very, very quickly. They are incredible vehicles for change.”

• Jed Anderson, CEO, EnviroAI

---“Building a machine to protect nature and humanity… one commercialized application at a time.”
