Some of you might remember when Google’s motto was “Don’t be evil.” And it’s true—the OG tech innovators really did want to build a better world.

Good intentions are nice…money is better
Generally speaking, nonprofit organizations are big on heart, but low on cash.

3moI had my own little "tech warrior" moment almost 10 years ago when I was helping small companies use as many open source products as possible and once upton a time Google was on that list.

Indeed even more powerful when for-profit businesses can do the right thing.
