    There is so much room to be better at funding nonprofits than donors currently are. Especially big donors, which are governments or might as well be. Imagine if your startup had to raise money from a government agency. That's what your friends running nonprofits are up against.

        Running a nonprofit? I thought that's what a good majority of startups already do these days anyway.

        And as someone who runs a nonprofit that helps potentially transformative clean energy developers get large government grants I can tell you that process is an absolute *beast*. An expensive, time consuming beast. #hardagree

        You should talk to @zachlatta about his experience scrapping together a meaningful funding base for @hackclub. Non-traditional mission meant finding non-traditional funding.

        To be fair, non-profits can also do a much better job sharing a standard set of impact metrics.

        Nonprofit impact metrics are most often driven by funder requests. Every funder has their own bespoke reporting methods.
