For the unsettled founder

You weren't built
just to write
checks.

A quiet voice keeps telling you there's a 'more' you haven't found yet. You're not imagining it.

A lone figure standing at a large window at dawn.
The feeling

Successful.
Restless.

Generous. Faithful. Profitable. Still — something hasn't settled. You know writing the check stopped being enough a long time ago.

"There's got to be more than this. I just don't know what it looks like yet."

The multiplier

Greater Works
make the business better.

This is the part nobody tells you. The work that matters most doesn't compete with your company — it compounds it.

Not voluntourism

Your CFO running procurement for a hospital your team designed. Your ops lead training the staff who'll run it. Your engineers solving supply-chain problems that actually matter.

The side effect

Employees who help design systems that save lives don't just stay longer — they come back different. Retention climbs. Engagement jumps. Some of them touch something eternal for the first time. A few of them meet God in the process.

Greater Works make you more successful — so you can do more Greater Works.

1 + 1 = 11

The work that matters most doesn't cost you the business. It compounds it.

01 / 04The pull

You feel it

A quiet, unsettled tug. The growing sense that this isn't the whole assignment — that your business was meant to build more than wealth.

02 / 04The search

You go looking

You start scanning rooms. Where are the others doing this for real? Not panels and pledges — people actually building things. You can't quite find it.

03 / 04The threshold

You find the room

A small, vetted group of founders who get it. Who've built things. Who are ready to stop writing checks and start doing the work.

04 / 04The work

You build together

Clinics. Schools. Self-sustaining businesses that outlive the donation cycle. With your teams, your systems, your judgment.

Inside the room

What you'll actually find when you walk in.

Real rooms

Small gatherings. Honest conversations. The kind that change what you do on Monday.

Real people

Founders who've shipped, hired, fired, given, failed — and kept building.

Real work

An on-ramp into ventures where your judgment, time, and capital all matter.

The founder

Mike
Thakur.

Founder, KIX

"Entrepreneurs are today's kings, and God's been waiting for them to show up on the field."

Mike spent 25 years chasing what he thought was the calling — before realizing the marketplace was always the mission field. He built WorkLodge, wrote Mike Drop, and created Greater Works Ventures around one conviction: impact over everything.

He started KIX because he needed it — and it didn't exist.

The work

Not just a community. A collective of doers.

For example

What does "building together" actually look like?

A KIX business owner in Houston connects with a local nonprofit running a spiritual formation and rehabilitation program. Two people from that program come in as apprentices — not charity cases, but real contributors learning real skills inside a real company. One of them gets hired. The business owner gets someone shaped by hardship and faith. The nonprofit gets proof of concept. The person in the program gets a future.

Zoom out: a kingdom-minded student at Baylor connects with a KIX member in Dallas who needs someone hungry, values-aligned, and willing to learn. Six months later, something clicks. The student stays. The business gets better. The student touches something eternal for the first time inside a spreadsheet.

Zoom out further: a group of KIX members — a developer, an ops lead, a CFO, a logistics person — pool their actual skills to build a self-sustaining clinic in East Africa. Not funding someone else's vision. Actually building it. With their teams. Their systems. Their judgment. And Hope Economy, our nonprofit deployment arm, is already on the ground in 8 countries making that possible.

That's what B.O.O.M. looks like at scale. We're not there yet on all of it. But this is what we're building toward — and the room comes first.

B.O.O.M.

Business Operating on Mission.

The forgotten formula that changes 1 + 1 into 11.

Honest

This isn't for everyone.

We'd rather be useful to a few than impressive to many. If any of the below isn't you — that's a kindness, not a rejection.

  1. 01

    You actually run a business that's profitable.

  2. 02

    Faith is upstream of how you think. Not a marketing layer.

  3. 03

    You'd rather be honest than impressive.

  4. 04

    You're looking for people. Not another program.

One ecosystem · two doors

Not a program. A family of work.

Nonprofit/ 01

Hope Economy

Deploying that impact in 8 countries, on the ground.
