In spring 2020, Mycoskie co-founded his newest company, Madefor. During this transition period, a new mission was born.
Mycoskie went on to realize for the first time in 18 years, he wasn't actively starting or growing a company.
Since then, he has invested in over 25 social enterprises. Utilizing half of his proceeds, he started the Social Entrepreneurship Fund to help early startups with core social missions get off the ground with much-needed funding. In 2014, after selling half of the company to Bain Capital, Mycoskie stepped down as CEO of TOMS. Since its inception, TOMS Shoes has provided almost 96 million pairs of shoes to children around the globe. Mycoskie's vision soon turned into the simple business idea that provided the powerful foundation for TOMS. His solution to the problem was simple yet revolutionary: create a for-profit business that was sustainable and not reliant on donations.
