Jay Wilkinson is the founder of the Do More Good® Movement, a nonprofit on a mission to inspire and support one million Do More Good® Companies by 2030 — organizations that prove profit and purpose are not in competition, but in partnership.

His own career has been a thirty-year experiment in that idea. In 1992, he opened an AlphaGraphics franchise in Lincoln, Nebraska, with more conviction than capital. That business became Firespring, a Certified B Corporation that appeared seven times on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies and was named one of America's 50 Best Places to Work by Inc. Magazine in 2016.

Beyond Firespring, Jay has founded more than a dozen companies, invested in over 100 startups as a founding board member of Nebraska Angels, and raised millions for nonprofits across the country. For more than three decades, he has volunteered with Launch Leadership, teaching servant leadership skills to high school students — a commitment that says as much about his values as any business credential.

Jay's TEDx talk on purpose-driven business has surpassed one million views, and his work has been featured on CNN and other national outlets. He is an alumnus of MIT's Entrepreneurial Master's Program.

At the core of everything Jay does is a belief that conscious leadership is an inside job — that the businesses most capable of changing the world are led by people doing the harder work of changing themselves first. He lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, with his wife Tawnya, and he is nowhere near done.
