The portfolio

Ventures built from what we know.

Every venture starts with the same question. Is there a real problem, and is there a better way to solve it? Only then do we build. Here is what is live today, and how we decide what comes next.

ExemptPayLive

Defensible executive pay, built on public record.

→ exemptpay.com

Setting a nonprofit leader's pay should not come down to a guess. ExemptPay benchmarks every leader your 990 makes public against real peers, straight from public IRS Form 990 data.

Boards and compensation committees sign off on executive pay every year, usually on last year's number and a gut feel. ExemptPay turns thousands of public filings into a board-ready report: percentile benchmarks, minutes-ready language, and a §4958 checklist. Independent of management, auditable line by line. Funders and compensation consultants put it to work too.

Governance report tier

Not just a report. A meeting in a box. The higher tier adds a ready-made presentation you can edit, a discussion guide, and prompts your secretary copies straight into the minutes. Everything populated with your numbers.

NPCrowdLive

Knowledge for the people who run nonprofits.

→ npcrowd.com

The nonprofit operations knowledge platform. Practical, operational knowledge for the people who actually run nonprofits, not just the fundraisers.

Most nonprofit content is written for donors and development teams. The people keeping the lights on, managing operations, finance, HR, and systems, are left to figure it out alone. NPCrowd is built for them: how things actually work, from people who have done the job.

More ventures are in active development.

We are always building. Each one starts where we have genuine insight and a problem worth solving.

How we choose what to build
01

A real problem.

Not a feature looking for a market. A genuine, costly pain that people already feel.

02

Earned insight.

A sector we know from the inside, where we can see what others miss.

03

Built to last.

Operated for the long haul, not flipped. Stewardship over speculation.
