RAM Ventures Co. Lab
RAM Ventures Co. Lab is a small studio behind five very different ventures — a corporate partnerships matchmaking ecosystem, a women's collective for reinvention, a satirical comic, a travel journal, and a movement about blunt kindness. Different mediums, one goal: reimagine the ways we work, give, and connect.
Traditional systems — in corporate giving, charity models, or modern career paths — run on a scarcity mindset that breeds burnout and division. We treat RAM Ventures as an entrepreneurial sandbox: small ventures, creative work, and cultural campaigns aimed at one goal — reimagining the ways we work, fund, live, and connect.
Each venture tackles a different layer of the same problem.
The Practical Engine
Shifting nonprofit and corporate giving away from cold outreach and rigid gatekeeping, toward hand-curated, mutual-transparency matchmaking that funds real operational impact.
brokersofgood.comA collective for women helping other women
Women helping women is powerful.
La Mesa is a collective for women navigating seasons of professional and personal reinvention — and for women who simply want to build, connect, and grow alongside other women.
It was founded on a simple belief: women helping women is powerful.
We share what we know. We open doors. We make introductions. We challenge each other, cheer each other on, and create space for the conversations that don't always fit neatly into professional networking.
Resilience is the floor. Not the ceiling.
La Mesa is about what becomes possible when women have each other's backs.
joinlamesa.coThe Creative Trojan Horse
Webcomics and satire — including #TheNonprofitFont — that use humour to call out systemic absurdities in the funding world. 10 issues in, and counting.
The Freedom Sandbox
Exploring geographic freedom, remote connection, and location-independent community — once told through a series of "what if we roam..." postcard prints, now a living travel journal on Instagram.
The Cultural Movement
Redefining empathy as a fierce, disruptive force — bold, boundary-honoring, and unapologetically loud, instead of passive politeness. Raw conversations, live on Instagram.
Three ideas that shape every venture in the lab.
We look beyond individual products to reimagine how whole sectors, systems, and ways of living work.
Sharp creative commentary is a powerful tool for cultural change — not a distraction from serious work.
Every venture should respect the energy, dignity, mobility, and humanity of the people it touches.
RAM Ventures Co. Lab was founded by Lori Muñoz — a storyteller, cartoonist, community builder, and parent, with two decades of roots in the social impact sector.
She built BrokersOfGood in 2019, facilitating close to a million dollars in corporate and community impact in its first year alone. Behind that growth was a personal season of transformation — early motherhood, entrepreneurship, a pandemic, and the loss of her father. Somewhere along the way, she realized that the hardest transitions are the ones that challenge what we believe about ourselves.
Driven by a desire for deeper alignment over traditional achievement, she later spent two years living in Spain with her son, an experience that reshaped how she thinks about presence, pacing, and community. Back in Canada now, she runs RAM Ventures as a living lab built from those experiences — leading BrokersOfGood, guiding women through La Mesa, sketching new pages for Comic Sans Impact, and following the questions behind What If We Roam and Unhinged Kindness.
