You seem to be describing a (for profit) relationship between a small to medium size IT vendor and a large blue chip, and the internal decision making process of a blue chip as well.
- TheOtherHobbes 7y agoNo, it's more like the relationship between a small store that adds value to a community in ways that don't appear in GAAP calculations, and a corporation that extracts value from communities in ways that ditto. It's going to take a while for it to become clear if this new venture is the first or the second type. Obviously everyone is hoping for the former.
- wpietri 7y agoYou mean for how a 501c3 interacts with donors and foundations? Yeah, it seems to be very often like that. I've talked with people in the non-profit world who are trying to make 501c3s work more like startups, where what investors/donors are paying for is exploration and learning. But apparently that's vanishingly rare.
