  34. This is not a community of do-gooders and nonprofit junkies (they’re there, but these are ppl wasting time at work – that’s why they visit).

  45. The minimum loan is 25, but each $25 feels relevant when it’s part of a grokkable goal (like “Armen needs $3,000”) this is the future of donations.
