I looked at non-profits, but sincerely believe for-profit is better for our company.<p>Our goals are aligned with our customers, not whoever gives us money. As a for-profit enterprise, we are truly independent from the whims of outside investors.<p>It also changes the talent pool and partnership opportunities. The non-profits we have met, and there are many in the government space, move at a very different pace than a startup. They can also drift to working on the ideological over the practical.<p>Since software is a quantifiable good, if we cannot sell it than we aren&#x27;t building something people need, in which case we shouldn&#x27;t exist. For-profit aligns our survival with our impact.
