"For small to medium to national organizations, for events and fundraisers of any size, in any format – live, virtual or hybrid – the platform is built for scale."

Last September, Peter Thiel made an audacious offer to student entrepreneurs less than 20 years of age: $100,000 each to 20 entrepreneurs to drop out of college to pursue high tech entrepreneurial ventures. Personally, I think this is a poor message to university students. Sure…Bill Gates, Michael Dell and Mark Zuckerberg did it and were wildly successful. But, the odds of success are miniscule. Statistics show that a college diploma has tremendous value to the youth of our country. Why suggest an alternate route to our brightest and best?
