OVERVIEW

What happens when we turn the common assumptions about how nonprofits should acquire software on their head? Mitch Stein, Co-Founder of Pond talks about his journey from Goldman Sachs executive to impact economy advocate and platform developer. We cover all the assumptions made about small businesses that serve nonprofits software – both by venture funding and the nonprofit ecosystem. Pond creates an economic incentive for nonprofits to participate in software selection while sharing community and promoting transparency in software sales by making trust, authenticity, and openness marketable by software vendors. The quest that Mitch is leading is to recognize the highly reputational and relational nature of serving nonprofits and how vendors can parlay it into a strength that drives deeper accountability and better acting. We also take a hard pivot to what it means to be vulnerable leaders in the tech industry, and how we can create the conditions for this to be pervasive is also a profound part of our conversation. This episode is for the dreamers, the founders, the risk-takers, and the folks who feel like nobody gets their ideas.
