    Beth Kanter knows the nonprofit world pretty well. She might have some perspective on why one should go nonprofit.

    To go for profit: I think the main thing is to talk to an Angel investor. If you find a serious one and they offer you some money… that would be a pretty convincing argument.

    I’m going to send the posts to my entrepreneurship professor (best professor I’ve ever had). He has experience in both profit/non-profits and his specialty is tech. He may have interesting thoughts for us.

    How are we soliciting their insights? Asking them to respond to our posts? Sending them a list of questions? Holding a conference call with all of them together?

    @Dave: Thanks!

    @Lauren: That’s a good question. I don’t think the blog comments are the best forum for this. If it’s a call, it should probably be recorded and the interviewer should write up notes. Or it could be e-mail.

    I’d think phone would be easy, if the person has time. If we do e-mail there should be a standard recap/intro as to our situation so the person can better advise us.
