Fun story, I once tried to convince a new friend of mine that his startup that I'd landed a small consulting gig with should focus on how it could make the world better, not just go after profits, because I could clearly see that what they had was just so useful and adaptable and that pharmaceutical companies would easily want to scoop them up. Back then they were in the midst of rebranding, but they ultimately changed their domain to meta.com and were acquired by the Chan Zuck initiative. I was happy. It seemed like one of the most pro-social uses of their software. It's kinda funny to see Facebook rebrand to what was a fledgling startup out of Toronto. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_(academic_company) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_(academic_company)
