ABOUT US
JADE O'HEARN
CEO and Founder
I believe we live in a sharing world. I believe we are all generous. I believe we all want to do good in the world. I have to believe this, it’s why my family and I are alive. Through the good grace and generosity of complete strangers – strangers who felt an innate desire to do good – did good and saved a family, and planted the first Pachira seed.
Be Kind, Be Generous to each other…you have impact.

JOHN WALLS

""The Suit"
What do you get when you combine Engineering with a Business Degree? Am I a Growth Hacker or a Hustler? I don’t know, but I’m good with either or both.
