Welcome to the Shark Tank…or, more like the Turtle Tank (to avoid any trademark violations). On this week’s episode, Mike pitches Louis some ideas for businesses that would help nonprofits improve their fundraising operations—and Louis gets to invest. But will he? From a platform that helps nonprofits listen to donor feedback, to recruiting offshore talent for fundraising admin tasks, there’s a little bit of everything in here. And, of course, this is all theoretical. If we had lawyers, they’d tell us to say “no offer is being made to, or solicited from, the listening audience.”  They’d also tell us not to say “Welcome to the Shark Tank” in the opening line of these show notes.  Share this podcast with a friend, follow wherever you listen to podcasts, and write a review—and maybe one day we’ll actually have lawyers.
