The Story Behind SHELTR

From concept to community-driven solution

SHELTR was born from a simple but powerful realization: “It’s better to solve than to manage.”This philosophy, inspired by Malcolm Gladwell’s groundbreaking essay “Million-Dollar Murray” in The New Yorker, became the foundation of our approach to addressing homelessness through technology.

This journey into tech-for-good wasn’t born in a boardroom—it emerged from witnessing the disconnect between charitable intentions and measurable impact. Too often, well-meaning donations disappeared into administrative overhead, leaving both donors frustrated and those in need still struggling.

SHELTR represents an attempt to join the brilliant collective of Internet Angels doing transformative work— creators who use their platforms and influence to directly help those in need, proving that technology and social media can be forces for genuine, lasting change.

“It costs a lot more to manage a problem than it does to solve it.”
— Malcolm Gladwell, “Million-Dollar Murray,” The New Yorker (2006)
