Venture Capitalist Pledges $100 to Charity for Every Pre-Order of His New Book on Charitable Giving
'Bankrupt me for charity.' — Nick Cooney
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, April 4, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- 'Bankrupt me for charity,' challenges venture capitalist Nick Cooney, who has pledged to donate $100 to high-impact charities for every pre-order placed through Amazon of his forthcoming book, What We Don't Do: Inaction in the Face of Suffering and the Drive to Do More. This unconventional approach transforms the traditional book launch into a direct charitable giving campaign.
'I wanted to find a way to make this book launch about more than just sales,' said Cooney, founder and managing partner at New York City-based investment firm Lever VC. 'By tying pre-orders directly to charitable giving, every reader makes an immediate impact—before even turning a page.'
What We Don't Do explores the life-changing good we can do for others with small amounts of time and money, the psychological barriers that prevent us from acting to help those in need, and practical insights on how to maximize our own personal impact.
All of the pre-order donations will support high-impact charitable programs that benefit people in extreme poverty, animals in extreme suffering, and key environmental protections. Cooney states, 'I'll give away $100 for every pre-order until I literally have zero personal liquid wealth left—no cash, no stocks, no bonds.'
Regalo Press Publisher Gretchen Young explains, 'With personal outreach, social media campaigns, and influencer collaborations in motion, the initiative is already gaining traction.'
To ensure your pre-order of What We Don't Do results in a donation, pre-order now through April 14th at Amazon: https://bit.ly/41S0I8H.
What We Don't Do will be published on April 15th.

Ford Has Picked a Chassis Supplier for Its 2027 Le Mans Hypercar Plans
Ford has selected sports car manufacturer Oreca as the chassis supplier for its upcoming LMDh project, setting the stage for a run at the overall 24 Hours of Le Mans win in 2027. The brand's Friday announcement also noted that Dan Sayers has joined the project as program manager. The deal means that Ford will be the fourth manufacturer to partner with Oreca, joining Acura, Alpine, and Genesis: Acura currently races the Oreca-based ARX-06 in IMSA; Alpine runs the A424 in the FIA World Endurance Championship; and Genesis plans to enter both over the next two years with their GMR-001. Since LMDh rules require teams to build their car around a safety cell from one of four approved chassis manufacturers, this means that the Ford will share some common parts with all of those cars. Most of the vehicle will be unique to Ford, however, including the engine. Sayers joins the now Oreca-affiliated prototype project directly from Red Bull Powertrains, a Ford-aligned group that will be building engines and hybrid systems for the energy drink brand's two Formula 1 teams. His responsibility will be getting the new racer from conception to the 2027 season opener — a daunting challenge that has led to early struggles for many current LMH and LMDh manufacturers on the grid at Le Mans for the 2025 event. While these announcements bring Ford closer to its return to the top class at Le Mans, some major questions remain. The brand still has not announced a partner team or official plans to build its own factory team, let alone the drivers. Ford has also only announced plans for the Europe-based FIA World Endurance Championship, meaning that the American manufacturer's long-awaited GT40 successor is not actually set to race in the U.S.-based IMSA championship just yet. An engine layout has also not been shared, although Ford Performance global director Mark Rushbrook mentioned in February that the brand had decided on a total cylinder count for its final race car. Those details will trickle out over the next two years. Until then, Oreca and Sayers will get to work helping Ford get their new prototype on the track.
