We met Tippy Tippens, creator of Matter L3C and the Bird Project, through SENO (Social Entrepreneurs of New Orleans) this summer and fell in love with her spirit and savvy cause-oriented goods. Our team donated web design services thanks to our >GOOD Initiative and partnered up with talented New Orleans web programmer Dixon Lin, on the development of the ecommerce site that is helping her birdies and future goods take flight and land in the home of consumers across the globe. Visit Matter L3C now and check out our blog for more info what an L3C is and how Tippy used Kickstarter to launch her Bird Project.
