Neat way to kill two birds with one stone. Not only do you get to promote Exec but you also get people to donate to a wonderful charity. Its great that you got such great founders to donate their time.
Win-win indeed! Thanks. I'm on the advisory board of donorschoose.org, so I'm super biased, but they're indeed awesome (also, use my matching code! 'breadpig')
This really demonstrates the power of strong personal/professional networks. Each of these founders are probably happy to talk to smart, budding entrepreneurs, for as the saying goes: "He who teaches, learns".
Justin Kan was able to bring them all together in one place, that place being his most recent startup. The charity angle doesn't hurt either, and adds a "feel good" element to this that makes it much more share-worthy.
I love seeing creative marketing and promotional ideas like this. So long, and thanks for all the inspiration.
