Usually social entrepreneurship is studied at the startup level not the founder level. I wanted to show that for one Bill Gates it might exist an invisible Bill or Melinda gates who helped millions but made no $.

This post is certainly not trying to be about politics, the goal is just to help advance the discussion of supporting entrepreneurs who are working on things usually done by the state (Where customers don’t pay)

The conclusion and point of this article will come in future article; it resonates a lot with yesterday s post on HN about “debt is back”
