#70 - Great.com is giving away $100 000. Why are we doing that? - Update

Great.com will give away 100% of its profit, but so far we have had zero revenues. Yet, we have decided to do our first big donation - $100 000.

The purpose is to unify the team, get a publicity push, and support what we believe is a great organization - the questions to answer, are we really unifying the team, or only causing stress and distraction? And will we get any publicity at all?

Part 1:
The first part is for you who don't know much about Great.com. How come we will donate all our profits? How far has the business come so far?

Part 2:
In part two we explore how come we are donating this early. We haven't made any profits yet, still, we take this decision. Why?

Part 3:
Thirdly we look into where we are donating the money. The organization is called Founders Pledge, but why do we choose them and what do they do?
