An Invitation to Join Hall of Giants

A Museum Championing the American Entrepreneur


Friend,

How grateful are you for air conditioning this summer?

If you live anywhere south of the Mason-Dixon line, I already know the
answer. Imagine August without it. Imagine trying to work, sleep, or simply
think straight in ninety-eight degrees and rising humidity, day after day, with
no relief in sight.

For most of human history, that wasn’t imagination. It was a normal July.

Here’s a sobering fact:

Tens of thousands of heat-related deaths occur every year across Europe, where
air conditioning still isn’t the norm.

Even here in the United States, where it’s far more common, we still lose an
estimated 1,000 to 2,000 Americans a year to heat exposure. Multiply that risk
across a century, across a planet, and you start to understand the scale of
what one man’s invention actually did for humanity.

Lee Kuan Yew, the founder of modern Singapore, understood it better than
almost anyone.

“Air conditioning. […] It changed the nature of civilization by making
development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning, you can work
only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon
becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the
civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency.”

Think about that. The man who built one of the wealthiest nations on Earth
from a swampy port city credited a single invention as the key to it all.

That invention was made by Willis Carrier.

Willis Carrier didn’t just make us more comfortable by inventing air
conditioning. He moved civilization forward.

So here’s a question worth sitting with . . .

Why isn’t there a statue of Willis Carrier in every city he made livable?
Why do most Americans not even know his name?

That has to change.

And it’s exactly why I am establishing the Hall of Giants
<[link removed]>
.

We’re building a new museum, but “museum” undersells it.

Hall of Giants is a Disney-caliber, entertainment-first experience dedicated
to the entrepreneurs, inventors, and risk-takers who built this country: the
household names like Franklin, Carnegie, and Musk, and the local giants whose
contributions never made the history books but mattered just as much to the
communities they built.

Without people like Willis Carrier, our lives would be almost unrecognizably
harder. Without the next generation of entrepreneurs, our future will be too –
unless we give them a reason to believe they can be one.

We’re raising $1,000,000 this year, and I’m personally inviting you to be one
of its founding donors.

A New Kind of Museum

This isn’t a wing of static plaques and dusty display cases. Picture stepping
into the sweltering, humid Brooklyn printing plant of 1902, watching Carrier’s
invention take shape, and walking out into a cool, air-conditioned gallery that
traces the ripple effects of his idea across a century – from the tropics to
the server farm to your living room this afternoon.

Picture riding from a garage workshop to the floor of the Nasdaq, from the
person with an axe to the person building the machine, immersed the entire way.

This is closer to a theme park than a textbook: interactive, cinematic, and
built to leave you inspired, not lectured to.

That’s the feeling we’re chasing: we want a visitor to walk out, get in their
car, and think – who made this air conditioner? Who made this phone charger? –
and then think, maybe I could build something too.

Your founding gift helps us break ground on that experience. As a founding
donor, if you give $50 or more today, we’ll send you one of our “Thank an
Entrepreneur” hats as a thank you.

By giving today, you will have a seat at the table of an institution built to
change how an entire generation thinks about entrepreneurship.

Willis Carrier gave us the tools to work through the heat. Help us give him –
and thousands of builders like him – the recognition they’ve earned.

Will you join me as a founding donor of Hall of Giants

?
