Hey! I’ve used both. They’re actually not competitors (Compound integrates with Carta). The difference? Compound sells to shareholders (Carta sells to companies). Compound provides holistic financial management services (in helping me manage my entire financial stack), including startup equity. The biggest benefit is they personalize everything to my situation (it’s a holistic experience). Would recommend trying it out!

Hmm I'll ask the founders if they have a solution for that! They allow bulk upload of profiles, but may require emails currently.

With a rapidly growing creator economy, the tooling around building custom communities is very far behind. The cutting edge is a Facebook group, Slack channel, or a Discord server.

Huge fan of modular construction! I hope down the line, more modular construction means you can upgrade buildings much more easily.

This is awesome! I've always thought someone should make Magic Links as easy as Facebook or Google Auth flows!

Flowdash has really improved our workflows at my job! We use to have a very tedious human in the loop process which is now much faster and more transparent for the entire team. The main benefit has been turning excel spreadsheets into a more defined work flow with a better user interface.

I think it comes down to the high cost of lifestyle changes. For example, if I am a consultant and needs to fly a lot to make a living, it would be very hard for me to change that.
I agree we need people to be more conscious of waste and to reduce excessive consumption, but at the same time, we need easy solutions for people to contribute.
I like the dual strategy of Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) that encourages lifestyle changes and buying carbon offsets at the same time.

My firm helps with number 2!
We help cover the exercise and any associated taxes for a portion of the upside!

Check out Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/), you can offset your carbon footprint for about $20 a month in a few minutes!
They also do a great job of educating users about what they can do to reduce their carbon footprint!

I think you're correct. The younger generations are especially feeling pressure to try to take action to reverse climate change and become carbon neutral!
I hope to see more people change their lifestyles to become carbon neutral! At the very least, I hope people will vote with their money and subscribe to something like https://projectwren.com/!

I think a lot of this comes down to resources and innovation.
As more money is invested and spent on research and development of new ideas, I think some things will eventually start to work providing a solution to these issues.
For more money to flow into the ecosystem, we need people to see value from being carbon neutral personally.
If you'd like to become carbon neutral, I'd suggest you check out https://projectwren.com/

Lifestyle changes can make a large difference, but the changes that make the most difference are also the hardest to implement (driving less, flying less, A/C and heating, etc.)
I try to do whatever lifestyle changes I can, but I also use Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) to offset the remainder of my carbon footprint!

Money talks, if companies can make billions of dollars from individual $10-20 subscriptions, I don't see why we can't do it for climate change/deforestation!
I personally use Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) to offset my own footprint and a bit more!

Just got my first report from Project Wren! Loved it so much I copied and pasted it here so I can share it:

The costs may go up as tree planting is more limited, but the more money in the ecosystem will allow new innovations to be discovered!
