Heretical Reason Productions
We are a private company investing in independent feature films, software applications and other business ventures. We do not have any products or services of our own, but rather, invest in companies offering these products and services. HRP was founded in late 2014 and made its first investment in 2015.
HRP was created as a vehicle to have fun and make money on investments in a variety of businesses. We will help fascinating and compelling stories become a reality on the silver screen. We will help entertaining and helpful software applications get a chance. We will keep our eyes open for other investments in areas we are interested in, or where we think the investment will benefit humanity, or where we think we can make a strong profit.
We do not accept unsolicited offers to invest in businesses, nor do we accept unsolicited screenplays. We prefer to find opportunities on our own.
We recognize that many of our investments will be risky and may cost more money than they bring in. Our hope is that some of our investments will be successful enough that they can support the rest of the investments. Further, we hope that in time HRP will be profitable enough that we can use its returns to give significant money to non-profit organizations.
The Pledge
The owner pledges to give at least half of their profits from Heretical Reason Productions to Stiefel Freethought Foundation, a non-profit organization .
Frequently Asked Questions
CAUSES
We strive to make this a business that benefits humanity. The owner will give away at least half of their profits from the business to the Stiefel Freethought Foundation. That’s right, 50% to charitable causes! How many businesses can say that? The mission of the Stiefel Freethought Foundation is to secure humanity’s future by ensuring public policy decisions are based on love and reason rather than bias and dogma.
How do you define owner’s profit for this purpose?
HRP does not pay out salaries and has no employees. We run a low cost organization and only invest in other businesses. Most money HRP earns will be reinvested to help grow the business. Owner’s profit is any money the owner receives from the business in excess of the total amount invested in the business.
