    Finding Your Mission with Steve Bevington, MD of Community Housing Limited

    Not-for-profit enterprises carry their own set of challenges compared with traditional startups. Unlike a for-profit company, a non-profit is there for a bigger reason. You have a mission that you stand behind, and all the money you make goes back into the business to fulfil that mission. Steve Bevington is the Managing Director of Community Housing Limited, a non-profit enterprise which provides affordable housing for low-income families around the world.

    Fixing Files with Qwilr Co-Founder Mark Tanner

    Business often involves making proposals and sending documents. Often those might come in the form of a PDF that you can email, maybe even a powerpoint. You build it once and then when you have new clients, you copy that file - change what you need, and then send it again. It’s a process that can be difficult to manage - and it’s not all that impressive. But today's founder helped build a system to change that. Mark Tanner is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Qwilr - an online platform that allows you to easily create the business documents you need, and send them on to your clients.

But today’s founder built a global empire on making that comparison process simple. Fred Schebesta is the CEO and Co-Founder of Finder, an online service that allows you to compare products, get expert advice, and make great decisions.
