This is amazing!

Was there anything you found difficult about balancing the for-profit and for-impact motives?

Is there any framework you used to help you make these kinds of decisions?

Hey Ben! I took a look around GoodHere, and to be honest with you, this is similar to a product idea I had in mind (at its core but different in vision + implementation).

How are you looking to monetize the platform? Would you mind talking things over with a potential competitor?

This is amazing, I'd really love to learn more! Do you have any resources I can look into?

I've just checked your site out, I really like that you offer core services for free and then up-sell on marginal services!

I'm curious -- who do you report the impact to, and how?

Is there a framework in how you went about pricing to balance the profit-motive and the impact-motive?

Thank you for the share, Alex! I found your frustration to be quite curious: why would calling out the bullshit and incompetence be damaging to your business?

I'd imagine that a huge part of your pitch is that you're MUCH more efficient and therefore you can save on costs if they outsource to your business.

The thinking I had in mind when making the post is that entrepreneurship is difficult enough and the desire to make social impact introduces a sometimes competing demand.

I wanted to get some perspective on what this is like and if there were any role models out there to study as I am keen on going down this road!

You're right, that's my bad. The thinking I had in mind when making the post is that entrepreneurship is difficult enough and the desire to make social impact introduces a sometimes competing demand.
