Our story
|
In 2013, Mitch Kurylowicz started a non-profit, called Project Jenga, that subsequently taught him a lot about business and how companies spend their money. After successfully fundraising over $1MM, he realized that there was a void in the market.
Organizations would either support his project financially because they wanted to help a young kid, or because they thought it was the right thing to do. Very few companies supported his project because it was part of their business plan. Mitch founded MLH to show these businesses why being a part of the solution can create the positive impact they care about, and the positive returns they desire. |
Our Name
|
The name MAKE LUCK HISTORY takes a seemingly positive word, luck, and redefines it. We believe that luck is the biggest divider of the human species.
This is not the luck to find a quarter on the street, what happens in Vegas, or what happens every now and then in business. That’s chance. It is the luck that allows some people to pursue purpose and holds others back to only pursue survival. It consists of three very simple things: health, safety and access to opportunity. Our goal is to take this luck out of the equation so that no mother has to hope that their child is born into a place where they have to be lucky. |

Our Mission
Helping organizations create positive impact and positive returns as a function of creating a more equitable world.
It does not matter who you are, how successful you have been, or where your political beliefs fall, luck is critical....
“America was not the land of opportunity that it claimed to be: there was remarkable opportunity for some, but little for others. […] I was one of the lucky ones for whom America did offer opportunity.” |
“Warren Buffett, probably the world’s most successful investor, has said that anything good that happened to him could be traced back to the fact that he was born in the right country, the United States, at the right time” |
“I've been lucky from my earliest memory on. I happened to be born to the right parents, and the lives we led - working class, migratory - suited my personality.” |
“Some kids win the lottery at birth; far too many don't - and most people have a hard time catching up over the rest of their lives.” |
If you're healthy, if you don't get sick much, if you don't go to the doctor much or use your health insurance much, you are a genetic lottery winner. It has nothing to do with the way you live, nothing to do with doing the right things. It's just sheer luck." |
“I’m constantly saying to myself, 'I'm lucky I was born in the United States.’” |
