This is awesome to see. Even though it's a small amount, it's encouraging to see that the non monetary resources that the VC system has are being on offer to non profits.

I wonder if the VC's could be interested in these projects beyond mere philanthropism? For example - a project that encourages crypto currency transactions for housing - which if it takes off would benefit an airbnb like p2p house share project. Funding a non profit on the bet that it will disrupt the market so that their other investments will benefit.
