Networking
CEO of the Year
Utah Business nominated CEO John Karony as one of their CEO honorees of 2022. On March 31st, they gathered together at The Grand American Hotel to celebrate the honorees and to announce their CEO of the year, John Karony! Congratulations John!
Bitcoin Miami 2022
SafeMoon Director of Sales and Partnerships Hayden Wing and SafeMoon Sales & Growth Manager Jonas Harmer went to Bitcoin Miami 2022 Expo!
"Got 2nd 🥈 place at the Super Smash Bros Ultimate tournament at Bitcoin 2022 yesterday. My gamer tag was 'Safemoon'. Easy marketing. Come catch these diamond hands 💎✊" - Jonas
"On our way back to @safemoon HQ! We learned a lot at Bitcoin 2022 and made some great connections. We’re already planning for 2023 Perhaps we get a booth this time around." - Hayden
Some members of the SafeMoon community were there too!💚💗
Grit Daily (SxSW)
Grit Daily published an article this past month from John Karony expanding on one of the topics discussed at the SxSW event in March 2022 where John participated in several interviews and panels on various topics. This event was a fantastic networking event hosted by Grit Daily as a part of SxSW.
In his article What Is Return on Impact? Venture Philanthropy as a Business Model Focus, SafeMoon CEO John Karony wrote, "Multiple times as I talked about our vision and business model focus on venture philanthropy, the concept of 'philanthropy with an ROI' and 'return on impact' came up. I spoke about it there but would also like to expand on the theme for the broader Grit Daily audience now."
He continues in the article to discuss blockchain tech's potential to create impact on another level.
"The development of all kinds of products, but especially the products that answer basic life and health needs can now be produced and deployed more quickly, creating a cost savings we can pass to users instead of to profit. This is where the magic lies: The Blockchain removes friction, of every kind. And by creating Impact in a “for profit” model that produces an ROI, your business is a self-perpetuating mechanism that doesn’t just “do good” but sustains itself and has the ability to grow while also expanding the impact far and wide."

United Nations NGO Committee
SafeMoon's Global HR Director Kate Porter was asked to speak at the UN NGO Committee on Sustainable Development alongside a group of other woman leaders with the desire to impact change.
The NGO Committee on Sustainable Development-NY has Special Consultative Status with ECOSOC of the United Nations Dept. of Economic and Social Affairs and is officially associated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications.
"On 24 March 2022, I had the honor of speaking at the UN NGO Committee on Sustainable Development on the topic of Women Leaders Impact Change Globally. It was a pretty epic experience and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity I had to represent the incredible company I work for in this particular forum. I currently serve as the only female on our executive leadership team at SafeMoon (watch this space as we continue to scale, for an increase in our diversity profile). My role has global reach and one of my teams core focus areas is to create the conditions for our entire team to succeed and thrive. My role is all about helping others and aligns to SafeMoon's mission which is to expand and channel our technologies to propel new innovations for good and a Venture Philanthropy model to advance those innovations globally.
The intention of my speech was to show there are real people with real stories and real lives who sit behind the scenes in our incredible business. We are all here to serve a much greater purpose. SafeMoon is the change we wish to see in our industry. I am the change I wish to see in others. I want to be the inspiration that no matter what is going on, you have the choice in how you show up AND how you respond. What you say and what you do matters and does affect those around you. There are so many people in this world waiting on my “extra” as an individual. There are multiple millions waiting and watching SafeMoon’s “extra”. I love the impact I get to have in my role. I love the changes I am seeing in others as a result of my own actions and behavior. And I am deeply grateful for the positive ripple effect that we as individuals and our phenomenal growing company is creating." - Kate
Networking Benefits
Networking is an essential part of a company's growth and ultimate success.
Here are a few of the many benefits of networking:
Expertise - Business networking provides access to a pool of field-tested expertise
Networking presents opportunities such as new partners or business agreements.
Networking becomes a resource - Business networking can give your company access to pre-screened lists of innovative ideas, projects, and even vendors, depending on what you're looking for...
It helps build the company's brand
The company's network can be a great source of industry-related information. You can't possibly stay current on every piece of news or legislation that affects your company - but a good network can.
