SHAHZAD AND RAINER

Ventures

What the group builds and operates.

These are businesses. They are run as businesses, they carry their own costs, and they are the reason the nonprofit initiatives do not have to ask anyone for permission.

How the group is governedContact the partnership

No nonprofit initiative appears on this page. They are on the impact page, and they are never counted alongside a venture.

The businesses

Four ways the group earns its keep.

01

Rainer Agency, Ltd

Adjunct marketing leadership for businesses that need a marketing department rather than a campaign. Website development, CRM, search, lead generation and complete business setup.

  • Website development, CRM and search
  • Lead generation and business setup
  • Holds the group's reseller role for ** numbers
02

Hashtag Dialing Codes

Abbreviated #code phone numbers, licensed by exclusive territory. A word the caller already knows becomes the number they dial, which is easier to hold in the head than ten digits.

  • Licensed by exclusive territory
  • Availability read from the register at page load
  • The live register for the group's #code inventory
03

Pound Codes

The same #code inventory under its original name. The two storefronts are being merged so that a territory can be licensed once, from one register.

  • Same inventory as Hashtag Dialing Codes
  • Two storefronts merging into one
  • Both domains covered by the legal centre
04

StarStar numbers

Spellable ** numbers, resold to qualified nonprofit organisations. Rainer Agency holds the reseller role.

  • Sold only to qualified nonprofit organisations
  • Reseller role held by Rainer Agency, Ltd
  • No separate domain of its own

Domains

Which entity operates which venture domain.

Every domain below is named individually in all six documents in the legal centre, so a visitor never has to guess which policy governs the page they are reading.

One product, three storefronts. Pound Codes and Hashtag Dialing Codes sell the same inventory of numbers under two names, and poundcodesusa.com sells it a third time. They are being merged into one storefront with one register, so a territory can only be licensed once. Until that finishes, treat hashtagcodes.com as the live register.
