Highlighted TextABOUT

Founded in 2021, the Do-Or-Dier Visionary Foundation (DODVF) is the non-profit arm of the Dyrdek Machine. Our mission is to inspire and empower underestimated entrepreneurs. We believe in those who are often overlooked and seek to unlock their full potential by providing them with the tools and skills necessary to succeed in both business and life.

 

To fulfill our mission, DODVF strategically partners with non-profit organizations dedicated to teaching entrepreneurship within underrepresented communities. We firmly believe in the transformative power of education and view entrepreneurship as a profound vehicle for one to create their own destiny.

 

We support and amplify these partner organizations through financial contributions, curated programs, and our robust media platform. Through our partnerships, we are committed to shifting the status quo of who gets the opportunity to pursue their dreams and step into their purpose, ultimately creating a more equitable future for all. We strive to empower underrepresented and underestimated entrepreneurs to unlock their full potential.

Highlighted TextVALUES

The Do-Or-Dier Visionary Foundation is
built upon 4 core beliefs:
ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET

People have the power to create their own destiny through fortitude, grit and determination. Entrepreneurial learning significantly expands life possibilities.

POWER TO CREATE

The best entrepreneurs do a lot with very little. They don’t wait to start and use everything within reach to move their idea forward by any means necessary.

EQUAL ACCESS

Talented people shouldn't be blocked from fulfilling their vision simply because society gives them a lack of access to resources, knowledge and opportunity.

IDEAS FROM ALL

Humanity deserves the best, most innovative ideas. Our society misses out on many of these ideas by consistently underestimating the greatest talent.
