We help worthy causes carry out their good work in the world with an extra dose of love, creativity, and money. Something no brand has ever done before.
I read an article in the NY Magazine years ago about a knight named Ace Greenberg. It said his favorite book is the bible and Bear Sterns had tithed $20 million dollars that year. I sent him a KISSES card and flew to meet him on Wall Street within three days.
“Where are your figures?” he asked.
I sent him a photo like this with the inscription, “you asked for figures, here’s mine.”
Joking aside, we did the business plans, projections, P & L’s, and all the traditional requirements.

At the end of the day, it was a fabulous presentation – but we didn’t ask for enough money (at least $30 million dollars) to make it worthwhile for the underwriters. Ace lead the way to some initial capitalization. And divine timing brought us to where we are now.
I went back to the drawing board. And I drew more Kisses, instead of plans. But today we have something different. It is not an IPO, it is anILPO: an Initial Love Public Offering.
That’s it. We’re selling tangible art, and intellectual property, and licensing rights, and donations for which you receive an opportunity, gift, or we match your tax deductible donations with Kisses gift certificates.
