Dear friends and investors,Last week I wrote to you about the people behind our outcomes. The seven-year-old who won her cheer competition. The husband whose arm moved. The man who rode in his family car for the first time since his stroke.Today I want to write to you about something different, though it connects directly to the same idea: that mission and returns, at HCO, are the same thing.We have just been approved as a partner with Inspire Access, a 501(c)(3) impact investing nonprofit. What that means practically is that some of you now have a new way to invest in this round, one that may actually be more advantageous than a traditional investment, depending on how your capital is currently held.If you have a donor-advised fund, appreciated stock, or philanthropic capital sitting on the sidelines, you can now direct it into HCO's SAFE note through Inspire Access. You get the same terms as every other investor in this round: $45M pre-money cap, 20% discount to the next priced round, on the same SAFE as Safar Partners. When HCO exits, the returns flow back to your charitable entity to fuel future giving. The investment helps your philanthropy become evergreen. It does not disappear on exit. It recycles.This is not a grant. It is not charity. It is a real investment with real return potential, structured in a way that lets philanthropic capital do two jobs at once: generate financial returns and satisfy your charitable giving. A standard investment uses after-tax dollars and generates a taxable return. This uses pre-tax dollars and generates a return that flows back into your philanthropic account. That is a meaningfully different equation for anyone with a DAF or philanthropy dollars.Inspire Access is not a typical donor-advised fund sponsor. They do not ask you to create an account with them. They exist specifically to move philanthropic capital off the sidelines and into high-impact ventures led by founders traditional investors often overlook. They accept HCO's existing terms, without extractive structures, with minimal fees.The process is straightforward. Three steps:First, review and sign the donor agreement form, which I will provide directly. It specifies the payment method and how you would like your capital invested.Second, transfer funds to Inspire Access. They work seamlessly with Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab, and other major DAF sponsors. You can direct funds from your DAF, donate appreciated stock, or contribute cash for a tax deduction.Third, receive an Acknowledgment form once Inspire Access has received your funds. If you donate via appreciated stock or cash, this letter supports your tax deduction.On fees: Inspire Access takes 1% of the investment amount at initiation and 1% of the total funds returned on exit. No management fees. No carry. No annual fees.If you have philanthropic capital that could be working harder, or know someone who does, I would love to talk with you or them.
