FAQ

What is Not Impossible?

Not Impossible is a technology-for-humanity organization built on one idea: everything that’s possible today was impossible first and today’s impossible problems are simply on the trajectory to being made possible. Through four connected arms, it builds applied technology, teaches its proprietary innovation methodology, and funds human-centric, impact-driven innovation work.

- Not Impossible Labs (Build): Partners with corporate brands and foundations to create possibilities through innovation and technology solutions designed for real human problems.

- The Not Impossible Institute (Teach): Equips teams and organizations with field-tested innovation methodologies to dream, develop, and deploy possibilities through hands-on workshops.

- Mick Ebeling Keynotes (Speaking): Delivers high-impact mainstage keynotes and presentations globally, showing corporate workforces how to operationalize the "Commit, Then Figure It Out" framework to survive market disruption.

- The Not Impossible Foundation (Give): Operates as a separate philanthropic entity to bring life-changing innovations to populations that commercial channels cannot reach.

What makes Not Impossible different from other social impact or innovation organizations?

Not Impossible builds and deploys physical solutions into the field, using a disciplined engineering methodology that starts with one specific person's real need and builds outward. That sets it apart from most organizations working at the intersection of technology and social impact, which focus on building broad awareness of global problems.

- Action Over Awareness: The organization bypasses theoretical proofs of concept and vanity impression metrics; the non-negotiable measure of any project is successful field deployment.

- The Edge Scales: Forcing a solution to be rigorous enough for the extreme, real-world conditions of one individual creates a hyper-functional blueprint that naturally scales worldwide.

- Independent Validation: The operational track record is verified by world-class institutions with zero stake in the outcome, including TIME Magazine, Cannes, MoMA, Fortune, and the Muhammad Ali Center.

Who does Not Impossible work with, and how can my organization get involved?

Not Impossible works globally across sectors with corporate brands, foundations, government bodies, and mission-aligned organizations. The qualifying factor for engagement is never size or industry, but rather the presence of a problem worth solving and a mutual willingness to commit before a complete strategic roadmap exists.

- Build Partnerships: Tailored for corporate brands, CSR directors, and innovation leads who want to co-create a deployed, physical technology solution through Not Impossible Labs.

- Institute Workshops: Built for enterprise leadership teams looking to inject rapid-prototyping, risk-tolerance, and anti-status quo thinking directly into their corporate cultures.

- Keynote Speaking: High-visibility mainstage presentations by founder Mick Ebeling to open or close major corporate conferences and global association events.

- Foundation Giving: Built for individual donors, institutional grant officers, and corporate CSR programs looking to fund direct investments in humanitarian technology field deployments.

What is Help One Help Many, and why does it matter?

Help One Help Many is the foundational design constraint driving every single Not Impossible project. By building a solution rigorous  to serve one specific person's urgent, real-world need—rather than a generic user persona—you create a hyper-functional core technology that is far more durable, adaptable, and transferable than anything designed for a broad population.

- Defeating the Mean: Generic, broad-market solutions attempt to serve everyone and end up serving no one particularly well. Help One Help Many optimizes for the edge, where the hardest version of a problem is solved.

- Specificity Produces Scale: Isolating a single user eliminates corporate design bloat and feature creep, producing lean, open-source hardware and software that easily transitions to global populations.

- A Proven Methodology: This exact constraint successfully engineered the EyeWriter for a paralyzed artist, Project Daniel for a Sudanese amputee, and Music: Not Impossible for Deaf concertgoers.

Does Not Impossible work with organizations outside the technology sector?

Yes, and the vast majority of Not Impossible's corporate partners do not operate in the technology space. Healthcare networks, financial institutions, consumer food brands, entertainment companies, and government bodies have all successfully engaged Not Impossible Labs, the Institute, and Mick Ebeling as a mainstage speaker.

- Universal Corporate Inertia: The underlying structural challenges are identical across all sectors: organizations routinely stall not from a lack of resources, but from a lack of commitment before certainty.

- Cross-Pollinating Frameworks: The core innovation philosophies translate seamlessly because regulatory pressures, market disruption, and internal organizational change fatigue are completely industry-agnostic.

- Bespoke Material Contextualization: All presentation prompts, keynote frameworks, and workshop case studies are systematically customized to align directly with the specific competitive realities of the executives in the room.

How do I start a conversation with Not Impossible?

To initiate an engagement, utilize the contact form on this page to submit a clear description of the human problem you are trying to solve. Every landmark project started with a description of a real human barrier—not a technology brief, completed scope of work, finalized budget, or corporate RFP.

- Problem-First Vetting: The team directly evaluates all incoming inquiries by analyzing who the problem affects and whether those individuals have been failed by existing commercial options.

- Open Entry Points: Inquiries can explicitly request a Build partnership, an Institute workshop, a mainstage keynote booking, or Foundation grant alignment.

- Prioritizing Operational Depth: Because the organization limits its focus to a select number of high-stakes partnerships at any given time, early outreach is highly recommended to shape the right design.

Is Not Impossible a nonprofit or a for-profit?

Both, by design. Not Impossible Labs operates as a for-profit applied technology company that collaborates with corporate partners, while the Not Impossible Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity. This hybrid configuration exists because the world's most critical human problems do not fit neatly into a single corporate category.

- Capacity Meets Reach: The commercial arm generates technological infrastructure and operational capacity, while the nonprofit arm extends that physical reach to marginalized communities.

- Dignity Over Business Cases: The structural framework allows the organization to aggressively commit to deep human needs—like a child in a conflict zone needing an arm—that lack a standard commercial business case.

- Traceable Funding: Corporate investments fund revenue-generating builds, while individual and institutional donations to the Foundation go directly toward market-written-off humanitarian field deployments.
