I wrote last week about transcending (and including) the current financial crisis.  The inspiration for that piece was partially grounded in a column I had written for Colorado Biz magaine, which runs today.  Assuming (as I did in the blog post) that the world continues to operate after the bailout and election, some US economic […]

Over at the Business Catapult blog, we just wrote about the detailed and confusing report from the Small Business Administration (SBA) on angel investing.
One conclusion is that there are at least two major categories of angels — professional, accredited angels who number roughly 5,000 nationally and made just shy of 1,000 investments in 2006; and […]

Well, it took me a while.  I came off my game for almost two weeks.

We went live today.  It’s an exciting milestone.
Today we whisper.  Tomorrow we shout.

Philanthropy 2.0 covers the basics of how social media and social purpose have begun to intersect.
