Hey! I’ve used both. They’re actually not competitors (Compound integrates with Carta). The difference? Compound sells to shareholders (Carta sells to companies). Compound provides holistic financial management services (in helping me manage my entire financial stack), including startup equity. The biggest benefit is they personalize everything to my situation (it’s a holistic experience). Would recommend trying it out!
With a rapidly growing creator economy, the tooling around building custom communities is very far behind. The cutting edge is a Facebook group, Slack channel, or a Discord server.
Flowdash has really improved our workflows at my job! We use to have a very tedious human in the loop process which is now much faster and more transparent for the entire team. The main benefit has been turning excel spreadsheets into a more defined work flow with a better user interface.
I think it comes down to the high cost of lifestyle changes. For example, if I am a consultant and needs to fly a lot to make a living, it would be very hard for me to change that.
I agree we need people to be more conscious of waste and to reduce excessive consumption, but at the same time, we need easy solutions for people to contribute.
I like the dual strategy of Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) that encourages lifestyle changes and buying carbon offsets at the same time.
I think you're correct. The younger generations are especially feeling pressure to try to take action to reverse climate change and become carbon neutral!
I hope to see more people change their lifestyles to become carbon neutral! At the very least, I hope people will vote with their money and subscribe to something like https://projectwren.com/!
I think a lot of this comes down to resources and innovation.
As more money is invested and spent on research and development of new ideas, I think some things will eventually start to work providing a solution to these issues.
For more money to flow into the ecosystem, we need people to see value from being carbon neutral personally.
Lifestyle changes can make a large difference, but the changes that make the most difference are also the hardest to implement (driving less, flying less, A/C and heating, etc.)
I try to do whatever lifestyle changes I can, but I also use Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) to offset the remainder of my carbon footprint!
Money talks, if companies can make billions of dollars from individual $10-20 subscriptions, I don't see why we can't do it for climate change/deforestation!
I personally use Project Wren (https://projectwren.com/) to offset my own footprint and a bit more!
We can all do our part! Even though it is hard to actively contribute to fighting climate change every day, by becoming carbon neutral, we can grow a community to make a difference!
The average American has a carbon footprint that can be offset with a $20 per month subscription. We need more money to flow into fighting climate change!
I personally use Project Wren to offset my carbon footprint specifically through a tree planting projects!
Netflix made had $5.8B in revenue from small $10-20 subscription users!
Today, for $20 a month you can offset your own carbon footprint! This matters because the more resources that goes into fighting climate change allows innovation. Even by generating more demand for carbon credits and offsetting, new businesses can thrive and grow by fighting climate change!
