Tangentially, his wife's startup https://omakasecharity.org/ https://omakasecharity.org/ actually looks pretty interesting; one of the most exciting things of the past year has been how tech people (YC, etc.) have gotten involved in new kinds of charities, rather than just donating to existing ones. I guess I'd argue Bill Gates was the one who kicked this all off, with a strict program of accountability, but the smaller startups actually use technology to accomplish their missions in a new and more effective way.
