Revenue funds the cure.
Every dollar matters.
The Like One Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit funding HIV cure research and AI accessibility.
Because capitalism forgot most people.
38 million people live with HIV worldwide. Antiretroviral therapy keeps them alive, but it's not a cure. The research to find one is underfunded because the market says lifelong medication is more profitable than ending a disease.
Like One LLC builds the products and education. The Like One Foundation, a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit, channels a percentage of that revenue directly into HIV cure research and accessibility tools.
Giving isn't a side project. It's baked into the architecture from day one.
The giving model.
Seed Phase
1% of revenue accrues to the giving fund. Monthly recurring donation to UCSF HIV Cure Research Fund. Small but consistent — building the habit from day one.
Growth Phase
5% of revenue. Expand to multiple recipients: UCSF, amfAR, disability advocacy organizations. Quarterly transparency reports.
Scale Phase
10% of revenue. Fund our own research grants. Commission accessibility tools for disabled AI learners. Public giving dashboard.
Convergence
50% of revenue. Fund direct HIV cure research. Build the accessibility tools ourselves. The nonprofit becomes the research funder, not just the donation pipeline.
Where we are now.
Updated monthly. All donations are tax-deductible. Like One Foundation Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Why HIV cure research?
Current antiretroviral therapy is a medical miracle — it turns a death sentence into a managed condition. But "managed" means daily medication for life, ongoing side effects, and a $20,000+ annual cost per patient.
UCSF's HIV Cure Research Fund supports cutting-edge approaches: latency-reversing agents, broadly neutralizing antibodies, gene therapy, and immune-based strategies that could eliminate the virus entirely.
A functional cure would save millions of lives and billions of dollars. We fund the science because someone has to, and the market won't.
