Thanks for taking the time to write this up!

I agree that coaching is really what helps the most in my experience. It also is what excites many teams the most, knowing that they will become more self-sufficient with AI over time. Unless it is fairly hard to build, helping people to use AI by themselves really seems to be the long-term play for a company and individuals. 

Amazing writeup and super cool work. I think the task list is the underrated part. Without it, "automate our ops" usually turns into a few cool demos and nothing changes.

I've been helping a few EA orgs set up similar systems, and also run my own stuff this way. The thing that's bitten me most isn't stuff breaking, it's stuff silently doing nothing. My own database once stopped during a routine update and nothing flagged it for a while. A dead simple "this ran / did nothing" check per automation has saved me more than tests have, and it'd probably give you that maintenance number, or at least a proxy. 

Great writeup! I have been working with Settled’s team for a while now, building their tech stack, and - even though I am biased - I am in constant awe about how much Ann cares for making sure the dates she sets up will genuinely make people happy. If she can’t find a good match at the first go, she will tell the person, and keep looking further, until she does find the right person.

Super cool @Verónica Suárez M. 

It's so amazing to finally see these charities being incubated. Can't wait to see more effective charities being incubated through emprendimientosocial in South America. 

Unfortunately, we are currently bound to general paypal transaction fees, which depend on region, card type, and so on, and are a bit too high to make a $2 dollar payment worth it. But once we are a non-profit, we will have access to other, much cheaper options.  

Thanks for consistently using the GoodWallet and giving us so much helpful feedback all the time @Christoph Hartmann 🔸 :) 

Hi Johannes! Thanks for the bug report, we are working on resolving that issue! I will reach out personally if I need more info. 

And thanks for also underlining the importance of tax efficiency. It is something where we are actively exploring options. Unfortunately, it will take a while until we can find a solution that we can implement. But there are some potential solutions in the works at the moment :) 

As a graduate from the Founding to Give 25' cohort, I would highly recommend anyone to look into this program. Not only did I learn a massive amount about building and growing a business, but also about how to think about a life with impact in general. 

Amazing post Trish! 🚀

Thanks Rakefet! I listened to the NotebookLM, super cool haha. I will share this with our users if that's cool with you ;) 

And I agree with all your comments. We will be working on adding these features in the app and hopefully also on the landing page soon!

Hopefully we will soon see people sharing their links and QR codes on their pages. If you have any other ideas on how to incentivize people to do so, please reach out to me! 

This could be a great use for a GoodWallet API integration! 

There are multiple pathways that we can go, once we can't afford the transaction costs anymore. And I am looking forward for that problem to have ;)

We are currently paying standard PayPal transaction fees, but that will soon change when we implement a more cost effective payment processor. Some options for covering the transaction costs would be:

• Allow users to donate a percentage of their payment directly to the GoodWallet and educate/visualize how much would be the minimum to cover fees. That is a common solution of many non for-profits.
• Put the money that temporarily sits in someone's GoodWallet account before being donated into a savings account. This will generate extra cash through interest and could potentially cover fees. 

These are just some options, but we will consider options in more detail when we hit that roadblock :)
