We're celebrating our fifth birthday! In March 2018, share was founded with the mission of making the world a little more just - without knowing how well the concept would be received and what impact we would generate in just a short time. A lot has happened since then - team growth, partnerships, products and projects. We'll show you the 5 biggest milestones and proudly look back with you on our shared history.
The founding of share
When our founder Sebastian was working for the United Nations World Food Programme a little over 5 years ago, he discovered that it only takes a few cents to feed people in need. And that's how the first idea for share came about: Wouldn't we all be willing to donate a small amount if it were easy to do so in everyday life? Without further ado, he inspired the three entrepreneurs and his friends Iris Braun , Tobias Reiner and Ben Unterkofler with his idea and the four of them founded share GmbH in March 2018 with a clear vision in mind: The world should become a fairer place for everyone.
The first products
We now have a diverse portfolio with more than 100 different share products. We started 5 years ago with just three items - a water, a cereal bar and a soap. Even though our portfolio has expanded considerably, you can still find water, bars and soaps with us today. Because we are still convinced that everyday products like these can easily make a social contribution every day and we want to offer a social alternative for everyday shopping in all important areas of life.
In order to put our vision of a fairer world into practice, we need strong projects and partnerships. Internationally recognized aid organizations that transparently ensure that your donations reach where they are needed. Whether it's Welthungerhilfe, Fundifix, Aktion gegen den Hunger, Tafel, Caritas and many more - we would like to thank our strong partners from the bottom of our hearts and for their expertise, through which we can really make an impact.
The retailers
And speaking of partnerships: We also have great relationships in retail that have developed over the past five years and have strengthened us. Large companies like dm and REWE have believed in our products and the mission behind them from the very beginning and have made the coveted space on their shelves available for share. This means you can find us almost everywhere in retail and easily do something good every time you reach for the social alternative on the supermarket or drugstore shelf of your choice.
The Impact
In mid-2022, we reached a major milestone in our work, which proved to us once again that the share concept works and can have a positive impact on the lives of others. In June, we celebrated 100 million shares and thus 100 million aid efforts within just four years. It's amazing what an impact we have been able to make with the help of our amazing companions! And that's just the beginning, because we still have a lot to do.
