Having to make a profit is pretty constraining. You have to satisfy customers or you go out of business. With a nonprofit, there's no intrinsic accountability. If you're a good scammer, the scam need never end. And seeming virtuous is easy when donors already want to believe it.
I'm not saying, obviously, that most nonprofits are run by sociopaths. A disproportionate number of the best people I know run nonprofits. So don't let this phenomenon discourage you from working for or donating to nonprofits. But be aware of it.
Television preachermen who run non-profits sure seem to dress well.
I think it’s also that initial good intentions that get frustrated by bureaucracy can metatisize in a bunch of weird, toxic ways
The state is the biggest non-profit.
Oh, boy. If you take a look at regular companies and startups then you'll see where the real sociopaths are. There are so many companies and people that do sell lies just to earn money... I think nonprofits are pretty safe compared to them
Co-op > Non profit
Can you give an example or two?
This thread was anecdotal and potentially suggestive of the type of non-profit who might mix with venture capital on the regular. Organizations are as transparent and accountable as their individual members want to be.
Any observation PG might make w/o actual study is sample biased AF.
This is an interesting thought if an exclusionary one. For instance, startups can be a swell haven for sociopathy. Richly funding a company in a culture where "quirks" are eagerly overlooked if potential is seen has shown a pattern of opportunities for sociopaths to flourish...
It's worse than that. It is NOT the case that a "non profit" "makes no profit" in the traditional sense, it's just renamed to something else, a "fund increase". They still may do all the normal things (generate revenue, etc) it's just not CALLED profit.
