Alan Jones — ‘the good one’, startup investor, co-founder of M8 Ventures, and all-round startup guru — bloody loves T-shirts.
In what has not been the year any of us were expecting, he’s combined that passion with his desire to help people, designing a range of silly, poignant and pithy shirts, sold online to raise money for the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), and to bring a bit of joy to your Zoom calls.
For each Communitees shirt sold, the $15 profit is directed to the ASRC. So far, that’s totalled about $3,500.
It’s not a huge number, Jones tells SmartCompany.
