Have you +
@jesslivingston thought of any innovative ways to put your billions to good use? That’s got to be a fun problem to solve…
We're always thinking about it. One novel thing we've done so far was to run nonprofits through YC alongside the for-profit startups. And there was a quite innovative project during the recent election.

YC for nonprofits would be super cool

That exists now. YC accepts non-profits.

This would be awesome or even different models, like Coops and shared ownership structures, community projects etc.

I'd love to see you guys support worker-owned CO-OPs. The return on investment would never be like a traditional startup but the quality of product long-term I believe would far surpass any traditional business. I'm working on such an ambitious ideahttps://thesustainablecoopstore.splashthat.com/

There must be other areas where what your original crew did with YC could fit. Or else maybe, “who are the Jessica Livingston and Paul Graham of this space?”

An area I think could be interesting is in developing creativity, critical thinking, and empathy in children. I see Paul doing that personally in the anecdotes he posts about his children. That’s great for his kids, but how do you scale it in a way that has significant impact?

Why do you think funding non-profit will create more “good” on earth? Do for-profit ventures have any limitations?
