what are you up against, if you don't mind my askin?
Services for non-profits are among the least automated I've ever seen. Layers and layers of "Verification will take 1 week"

The proximal one is Google's Apps for Business. But it's just this fractal thing, it's wild.
-
It's like doing non-profit work means accepting this insanely slow pace of approving things
-
There have been so many developments to clear the path for other business structures. I'm over here yelling whyyyyyyyy far too often
-
I've been doing a little work with nonprofits over the last few months and really shocked at the inefficiency they cope with
-
oh yeah? whatcha been up to?
-
security consulting; how do we handle membership data, how do we improve our IT on a couch-cushion budget

sounds like a problem ripe for
#disruption. There are *dozens* of dollars to be made. -
but nonprofits have the least dollars to spend on shiny automated technology ):
-
yeah but I'm not describing services rendered by non-profits. For-profit entities (such as Google?) would presumably have the motor for it
-
furthermore — I mean, it's hard to discuss no-specific-example but in general automation brings costs for repetitive tasks/services down.

They outsource vetting to techsoup (so do we). Easier than building an operation to understand global nonprofit entities.
-
Good news, tho: they'll have your company on file & future assessments will be quicker once you're in the DB as legit.
-
huh! well — that's great news!
-
Yeah, tech soup has us pending verification.
