Open World Outcomes LLC’s Origin Story
The company became an LLC when the founder saw so many needs of people and companies at the start of the COVID stay at home orders last year. The founder of the company has been an independent contractor in the mechanical engineering, 3d manufacturing, IT industry, photogrammetry, and photography/videography fields for years and began to use all those experiences to find ways to help.
2020, when the Covid-19 Pandemic strikes the world. Matt had already been working from home as an independent contractor and there was a higher demand for his diverse talents. However, early on in Covid-19 crisis, he thought about the big picture and the effects on the average family and small business. So many felt hopeless.
Initially Matt was looking to buy property to start a co-op farm where for free, people in need could pick fresh vegetables. Then he saw how many people were displaced from their jobs in industries that paid little to begin with and there would have been no room for these families to have built a savings to support themselves through this time. He realized that many of these same families were struggling with technology and optimizing their home networks to support both home school and/or home office environments. He began to help them. Matt also began updating their personal hardware devices to function with the remote software needed for remote learning, work, and job searching; helping them for free with all of the above.
This evolved quickly into training displaced workers remotely to enter a job market different from their previous backgrounds. By mid April, in the evenings, he was remotely training people for work in the technology industry and helping them obtain their IT certifications. That’s when he decided he would create a company that would give displaced workers a job while he taught them to obtain their IT certifications as well as give hands on experience repairing computer equipment.
Matt began Manufacturing PPE as well. Donating to Essential workers.
As the demand grew for training and equipment repairs, Matt created an LLC that now serves a wide range of industries and companies, non-profits, and individuals with 100 percent of their technology needs and much of their additive manufacturing needs. He understood that many small businesses were struggling to get parts and products as well as financially struggling. Matthew has been offering affordable solutions; everything from ground up networking infrastructure design, support, and installations, software support, equipment maintenance, workstation repair, to additive manufacturing for much needed parts and products.
Since then, Matt has been able to assemble a team to serve many industries with their business, additive manufacturing, and operational needs. The IT division has many of the team members he trained.
His mindset to help others has always been a part of Matt since he could speak. At nine, while his family was driving back from white water rafting, the journey home was halted due to a 100 year flood. Where they stayed, they describe that they met the most wonderful community. As told, most in this community were financially very poor and struggling; yet their hearts and words were full of joy and laughter. At nine, Matt insisted they stay and help the community recover. They did stay another 2 weeks and have returned to the area every year for the past 19 years.
This small rural community was like one of many across the nation where multi-generational poverty and underemployment leave families solely focused on the day to day survival and efforts to maintain their basic needs; shelter and food. Most jobs are more than 20 miles away and pay little to support their transportation and fuel costs let alone food, health, and housing costs.
For the children of this community, this left little room to dream, for believing they could achieve anything in life other than working for minimum wage. It’s hard to dream when you don’t have hope. Each year, Matt, although very young, was innately aware of his influence on the younger children in this community. He would bring books to read and give to the younger ones and give books to the older ones. He would talk science, technology, and inventions with everyone. As he learned to code websites, by age twelve he was teaching the children and young teens how to raw code and create websites. He even hosted a few they created and coded on his server. My son planted the seeds of hope that led to many of these children dreaming and realizing those dreams.
Many of the children and teens in the rural community he had mentored and influenced went on to receive college scholarships or attend trade schools.
Matt learned at a young age; although money and food may solve the immediate basic needs, becoming part of the community and mentoring self sufficiency would have a life long impact.
