FAQ

What is Worldwide Maniac?

Worldwide Maniac is a strategic management company built on the principles of conscious capitalism. We work within the entertainment and fashion industries to co-create a unique business platform where success is measured not only through maximizing profits, but by fulfilling a greater purpose in support of humanitarian efforts and the environment.

What does Worldwide Maniac do?

Worldwide Maniac leverages the scope and breadth of our partner’s creative voices to bring about a sustainable change in the environment and humanity. We do this by collaborating with our partners to create a customized set of services that integrate business with philanthropy.

In addition to providing manufacturing, distribution and promotional resources to globalize their “products” or brand for mass markets, we offer a wide array of strategic business services that include, but are not limited to:

Business plan development and fundraising

Strategy and brand development

Licensing, publishing and alliances

Event production and support

Product placement and endorsements

Business development

Administrative support

Documentary and feature film production

What does “pay it forward” mean?

At Worldwide Maniac, our mission is to build successful, sustainable companies that have a social conscience. We not only help companies maximize profits through strategic business management, we give our partners the platform to “pay it forward,” by giving a portion of their net revenues (10-30%, depending on the individual company and investor terms) back to the Worldwide Maniac Foundation – a private operating foundation formed to provide:

Disaster and hunger relief

Shelter for communities in need

Micro-lending for sustainable giving

Sustainable food production

Green, energy efficient housing

Research and education on alternative energy sources, permaculture and environmentally sound housing

What is the benefit of partnering with Worldwide Maniac? (What’s the value proposition?)

At Worldwide Maniac, we connect fashion, sports and entertainment with strategic management consulting to produce a greater social good AND maximize profitability. Worldwide Maniac creates the blueprint for our partners to grow a profitable business built on the foundation of “paying it forward” by giving back to communities in need.

We are, in essence, business designers – streamlining, centralizing and customizing organizational efforts to allow “pay it forward” artists to focus their time and energy on what they do best – creating. Whether they are writing music, designing clothes or building a brand, our partners are in the business of creating. It is through creation where these tenets of environment and humanity are able to reach the mainstream.

Why fashion and entertainment?

We recognize that the entertainment and fashion industries have a unique voice within the marketplace. Artists, whether they are designers or entertainers, express, create and disseminate ideas, words and art through their business. And that “business” can be a powerful voice for advocacy and change not only in corporate America, but for the greater good.

We do not work with just any artist, but only those whose product is positively focused along the founding principles of our organization.

Are your partners limited to the fashion and entertainment industries?

Not necessarily. Our portfolio includes companies and partners that focus on environmental or humanitarian concerns as well. As part of our commitment to building a sustainable, eco-friendly environment and providing basic necessities to communities around the globe in need, the Worldwide Maniac portfolio also includes three “green” companies:

GreenWorld Restoration. Provides low-cost temporary shelter and permanent housing solutions, on or off-the-grid.

Cru Energy. Partners with other developers to co-develop renewable energy biogas facilities.

Who are your partners or portfolio companies?

At Worldwide Maniac, neither our services nor our partners are standardized. We, like our partners, are CREATORS, collaborating to bring about sustainable change. Our current portfolio includes:

• Fashion Designer Richie Rich

• CRU Energy, Inc.

• Josh Charles Music, Inc.

• GreenWorld Restoration, LLC

Please refer to our org chart online for more information about our partners and industry categories.

How does Worldwide Maniac profit from these partnerships?

Like our services and clients, Worldwide Maniac’s profit structure is designed to meet the specific partner’s business objectives. For instance, we may take an equity position with some of the partnerships or customize a revenue share plan. Others may pay Worldwide Maniac for their services directly (administrative and accounting support).

At Worldwide Maniac, we also practice what we preach, with a percentage of all Worldwide Maniac, Inc. annual revenues put back into the Worldwide Maniac Foundation.
