For five years, Spallone watched a string of great concepts and budding innovators pass him by, but now he has the clout to bring the best proposals to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit unorthodox, but it gives people the funding to finance great ideas.\u201d Spallone elaborates, \u201cIt\u2019s a partner program.

Peter Grisham sat down with Arctic Grey, a design and development firm, to articulate his vision of stylish, eco-friendly sunglasses that raise money for (and overtly promote) good causes. Then Spallone and his team set about making Peter\u2019s project not only a reality, but a success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hopeshades\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">philanthropic shades<\/a> have already found an audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBelieve it or not, South Africa really started to blow up,\u201d says the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wework.com\/membership\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WeWork member<\/a>. \u201cNelson Mandela\u2019s struggle was called the Hope campaign, so our shades really resonate with the people there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on his career, it\u2019s easy to see the \u201cBroke as F#ck\u201d program as the culmination of Spallone&#8217;s&nbsp;lifelong ambition to aid and assist innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Entrepreneurial spirit has been with him since his earliest days in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I was a kid growing up, I was the guy running around managing bands,\u201d Spallone reminisces. \u201cI\u2019m talking from 10 years old, I\u2019d get them into shows, help them with their T-shirt design, and organize everything. I was the guy behind the curtain.
