Super excited to say that Envato is now a certified B Lab! 🎉🎉🎉 It's both a great benchmark and a lovely bit of recognition for our approach to balancing profit and purpose. Read more here - envato.com/blog/envato-ce…

I always enjoy seeing what ex-Envato team go on to do. Today a couple of them have launched a very neat product called Fitter (fitterplatform.com) to create branded health and fitness apps. Check it out!

Excited that mixkit_co has just launched a totally free library of 3000 SFX over at mixkit.co 🎧

Also ... our new Envato CEO, Hichame Assi, has officially joined coming over from another Australian tech co HotelsCombined 🎉 you can read a bit about him over in our interview - envato.com/blog/new-envat…

Now that I've wrapped up at Envato, I'm working with Cyan at heytiger.com.au where we just launched the Christmas 2020 range. It's pretty exciting working on a product you can actually *eat* 🍫🍫🍫. We only ship to AU/US/NZ at the moment, but expanding soon I hope 🌎

Pretty chuffed to say that the community at Envato officially passed $1,000,000,000 of all-time earnings in our ecosystem 👏 with 81,000 different individuals earning over the years. More stories and articles over here - forums.envato.com/t/we-ve-reache…

Over on Hey Tiger we've been partnering with the wonderful team at The Hunger Project where we passed a bit of an impact milestone in November 🙌

With 2020 wrapping up, we've published our Envato annual public impact statement for the year - docs.google.com/presentation/d… - while not a year anyone wants to relive, it's nice to look back and see some good results for our community!

Recently Cyan and I have started (angel) investing in Climate Change impact businesses (in Australia mostly). I thought I'd put it out there, that if you're a founder in that space looking for investment and want to have a chat - email me! (collis at envato) 💚

After he finished his stint with Envato, Placeit founder Navid Safabakhsh said he was going to build an eco-hotel/farm in Mexico, and then ... *did* it! 😱 Check out the farm and amazing video - safafarms.com

Cyan and I are excited to be early stage backers of Bloom Impact Investing - a new Climate Impact Investment app led by founders Camille and Bertrand. Camille has a bold vision for enabling anyone and everyone to fund (and benefit!) from the shift to a more climate focused society. 🙂🌏💚

Hello World. I'm here to help you make cool DIY projects! Check me out -> craftyamigo.com

It's been a while since I posted to Twitter. Thought I'd share the new website of a startup we backed last year called refilled.com.au - they make smart drink dispensers to reduce/eliminate single use plastics on the go!

One more to share: brightmoon.au ✨ It's the charitable trust Cy and I work thru that distributes funds to First Nations social entrepreneurs like Noni (pictured) founder of mayalabol.com a social enterprise focused on wellbeing for women and youth in Darwin!

One of my recent side projects has been producing documentary-style featurettes around Australia. I am quite proud of this one that just published: youtube.com/watch?v=NvFrwf… - about a man who was the victim of a home invasion. His response was nothing short of remarkable!

Up here in the NT we often collaborate with the crew from houseofdarwin.com With the referendum coming up, they’ve made some awesome YES merch and materials, and you can grab their Tee here: houseofdarwin.com/products/music… - proceeds go into campaigns to support the YES vote.

freeflo.ai is a side project I've been working on, sort of an Unsplash-for-AI images. Still pre-official-launch but its coming together well, and we're accepting new creators! 🙌

Today freeflo.ai went live as a hub for reusable generative AI style prompts to create better images. It's been a super fun project to work on - both in product design, but also I've been making style prompts myself. There's a bit of an art to them! 😅
