When Bigger is Better


"And if we are going to make the kind of change in the world we all dream of seeing, it will be through taking risks, trying new approaches, and growing big."
That is Priya Haji, founder of World of Good, which she recently sold to eBay.  Priya says:
"[O]ur responsibility is to engineer ideas and organizations that can create big solutions to big problems without compromising the social mission with which the endeavor was started.  As entrepreneurs working to address large issues, we gain momentum and strength through partnership and connection.  World of Good cannot do alone what it can now do with the strength of a company like eBay."
