"points are converted into monetary donations for the three participating charities: Bob Woodruff Foundation, Learn To Be and Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society.
The Bob Woodruff Foundation provides support to military service members and veterans, especially those who suffer traumatic brain injury and combat stress. The Learn To Be Foundation provides online educational tutoring for underprivileged children in math, science and language arts. Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society helps rehabilitate wounded and mistreated horses throughout Texas and Arkansas and places them into safe, permanent homes.
The name Karmaback came from the idea that helping to spread the word about a company should in turn reward the consumer.
“If you as a consumer are helping a company to get their word out, you ought to get something back for that—karma back,” Beverly said. “Now you just earned this karma. Why not share it with the charities?”"

"I'm now on my second company with the ATI, and I can't imagine not incubating my start-up here... it was the first place I applied when I had my idea for Karmaback, a social networking startup."

Karmaback points for Charity
As non-profit organizations continue to look to social media as a viable means to drive charitable giving, the Bob Woodruff Foundation, the Learn To Be Foundation and the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society have joined forces with Karmaback, Inc. to turn social network engagement into cash donations via Karmaback points, which are easily earned by interacting with partner brands on Facebook and Twitter. Through this new program, companies that use Karmaback for social network marketing, including sweepstakes, coupons, and customer engagement, get the added benefit of giving their Facebook fans and Twitter followers a way to donate their earned Karmaback points to a participating charity.

Karmaback Joins the Austin Technology Incubator
Karmaback formed in September 2009 under the leadership of Harlan Titus Beverly, founder of Bigfoot Networks, Inc., an ATI member company from 2005 to 2007. After growing Bigfoot Networks from zero to 20 employees and from no product to a multinational gaming company in two years at the ATI, he said he knew where to turn with his next company.
“One of the first people I called when I was forming Karmaback in Sept. 2009 was Bart Bohn from the ATI,” Beverly said. Though the ATI was supportive of his company before admission, the Incubator formally invited Karmaback to join as a member company in Dec. 2009.
Beverly said the two-fold draw of the ATI is their package deal of logistical infrastructure and business talent. “Having access to office space, meeting rooms, and the excellent administrative help is incredibly valuable,” Beverly said. “From a business perspective, having Bart and the whole ATI staff able to help with business strategy and implementation is very valuable. ATI continues to be the go-to place for entrepreneurs who are serious about starting their company.”
On the outlook, ATI-IT and wireless director Bart Bohn sees promise for Beverly’s second tenure at the incubator. “It is becoming more common now to see serial members of the ATI,” Bohn said. “We are excited to work with Harlan Beverly again on his new venture. Karmaback provides a fun, scalable solution for retailers to engage with their potential customers and we look forward to its success.”

Founder of Bigfoot Networks resigns to co-found Karmaback, Inc.
We just found out that Harlan Beverly, founder and former CTO of BigFoot Networks, left the company in August of 2009. Harlan was responsible for the vision and initial creation of the Killer Nic, K1 and the Xeno - additionally, he hired most of the development staff that's currently at the company, including Charlie Musta - chief engineer.
We understand this was a totally amicable parting - today you can find Harlan still on the advisory board for Bigfoot and at his new start-up, Karmaback.
