I get the final email from Mario Morino, godfather of the local DC tech scene for the last six years, announcing Netpreneur's (his tech mentoring nonprofit and networking dynamo) final voyage into the sunset and his new venture: Venture Philanthropy Partners - Venture Philanthropy "It is ironic that in a time of unprecedented prosperity and wealth creation, there is still chronic poverty and significant income inequality in the United States. The already large gap between rich and poor has widened even more dramatically. However, there is a convergence of broader forces at work that have set the stage for a fundamentally different approach to philanthropy, one that learns from the past while drawing upon the best practices of today and the New Economy: venture philanthropy." Time to do some good for the world, I guess!
