Incredible work. So many times you hear people working on this that will "Change the world", but these guys are actually doing it!

  It helps that Watsi is not a traditional start-up in the sense that their investors expect a return so they are much more free to actually do stuff that matters. Way too many start-ups believe their own BS when it comes to sentences like 'changing the world' when in fact all they want to do is make their own stash of FY money. Most of these are a net negative when it comes to the change they impart on the world. If you really want to change the world in a positive way a non-profit is a much better structure. Unless you plan on using your FY money to change the world afterwards, Bill Gates style.

    So which is it, they believe their own BS, or all they want to do is make FY money?

    There are lots of different ways to change the world. I sort of like the way SpaceX, with re-usable rockets, and Tesla, with electric cars, are changing the world.
