StartupRealities No 77 HomeWithChrome is a charity that finds homes and employment for homeless people by giving them container housing  to live in and Chromebook laptops connected to the Internet to work on. Typically the jobs available via HomeWithChrome are teaching English via video conference or managing social media accounts. CEO QUOTE "We provide a roof, be it a flat one: a comfortable home that previously homeless people can really call home. And we give them jobs that are well within their abilities," said company founder and CEO Homer Chromos.

StartupRealities No 68 LockdownInterns is a staffing and recruiting company that allocates students and young graduates to work from home on paid or unpaid company projects during extended periods of quarantine and lockdown, such as the first half of 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. CEO QUOTE "When you can't leave your house, you become an underutilised resource. Multiply this by a billion and you get the full picture of waste of human potential. We stepped in to simply find some use and give some purpose to all those millions of young people who are not lucky enough to have an actual work-from-home job. Group projects done for a company are a great leg-in-the-door: a testing period that can lead to a job offer after the end of the lockdown. In the meantime, these projects are also great for socialising young people and channelling their energy into developing skills and creating some value for society.
