This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to make complex code understandable for business leaders. My guest is Matt Van Itallie, Founder and CEO of Sema. Matt has a diverse background spanning law, consulting, education, and tech, and he has held leadership roles at edtech and govtech companies like Social Solutions, and PeopleAdmin.  He earned his J.D. from Harvard Law School after studying history at Swarthmore College. He's also a thought leader on the impact and responsible adoption of AI in the tech industry. This multidisciplinary experience gives him a unique perspective as a tech founder and CEO. In September 2017, he founded Sema, a codebase scanning tool.  Their mission: to bridge the gap between the technical and non-technical worlds, particularly in the context of software development. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Matt to my podcast. We explore how most tech organizations carry more debt in their codebase - and the business risks that brings. Matt shares his vision of how to solve this - in a world where AI-generated code and Open Source are rapidly gaining popularity. He discusses the learning process he had as a founder in creating a singular, non-consensus vision for the company - and how their unusual approach upfront helped them gain deep differentiation and first-mover advantage.  Here's one of his quotes What I know now that I didn't know as a baby entrepreneur was there are so many different versions of 'No,'  except 'Here is some money.' Everything else is 'No'  "I love it. So interesting. I can really see this helping. This is a pain point. Yes, I want to pilot Yes, I want to tell my friends." That's all No. It's all versions of No, except "here is some money." During this interview, you will learn four things: How he uncovered a new, totally overlooked, target market where his product quickly became mission-critical, rather than a nice to have. Why he's prioritizing building trust-based relationships with key players in the industry and how he's achieving this. What he's doing differently around creating a team that is more than the sum of its parts. His recommendations on choosing your business model wisely.  For more information about the guest from this week: Matt Van Itallie Website: Sema Subscribe to the Daily SaaS Reflection Get my free, 1 min daily reflection on shaping a B2B SaaS business no one can ignore.

Sign up for our weekly newsletter, The Technopath Way Tips, here: https://www.technopath.ac-page... One of the most common questions I get from nonprofits is how to decide whether or not they really need Salesforce. I spoke with Alexandra Mannerings last week on her podcast, Heart, Soul & Data, about how to pick the right tech stack for your nonprofit. This inspired today's episode of The Technopath Way. While Salesforce is a robust and customizable tool, it may not be the best fit for every organization. I also dive into a few alternatives I've heard about throughout my years working with nonprofits. My episode on Heart, Soul & Data: https://heartsouldata.com/ep-4... “Salesforce might be a good fit for us” Checklist: * We need to track donations and donor information * We need to track our activity * We need integrations with PayPal/Stripe * We need to track event registration * We need to send mass emails and texts * We need to track custom information specific to our organization * Our organization has unique needs * Our organization wants custom automation * Want to use it as a donor engagement/nurturing tool * You have a designated data base administrator (someone who is in charge of taking care of and in putting data) on staff “Salesforce might NOT be a good fit for us” Checklist: * Only tracking gifts, contacts, email and text messages * Your cause fits within a specific niche that has specific CRMs (example: a church, there are dedicated CRMs for churches that are designed to satisfy the unique needs only religious institutions would need to track) * If you do not have a designated data base administrator (DBA) on staff. You absolutely need someone on your staff in charge of your data base if you are going to get Salesforce. Great alternatives for very small nonprofits (small budget, no DBA) * Little Green Light - https://www.littlegreenlight.c... * Aplos - https://www.aplos.com * Neonone - https://neonone.com * Bloomerang - https://bloomerang.co * Donor Perfect - https://www.donorperfect.com * Social Solutions - https://www.socialsolutions.co... * Hubspot for Nonprofits - https://www.hubspot.com/nonpro... * Blackbaud/Raiser's Edge - https://www.blackbaud.com/prod...

Devin: As you look back on all the things that you have done and accomplished, what do you see as the superpower that has been most critical to your success?Erin: I’ve been told that I’m an unwavering, relentless optimist and that there’s no problem that doesn’t eventually become solvable.SynergyOK. I get it. My 1993 MBA is showing. The strategic combination of four tech-for-good companies into the new Bonterra I discussed with CEO Erin Mulligan Nelson has what she calls “benefits.” Synergy, we called it in 1990s b-school parlance—and nothing was sexier.Chatting with Erin about the combination of Social Solutions, Cyber Grants, EveryAction and Network for Good brought back memories of my investment banking career. She helped me see the strategic value of the merger.The combined entity is huge, with 5,500 1,400 employees, 19,000 nonprofits and half the Fortune 100 are on the client list, and $7.5 billion flows through the platform to nonprofits each year.Erin sees the enhanced value coming from an end-to-end solution:We begin with the givers. The givers can be corporate foundations or corporations, community foundations, individuals. We have the CSR platform that helps Fortune 500 companies figure out how they're going to do their grant making, figure out how they're going to engage their employees with gift matching or volunteerism.We've also got very large fundraising and engagement applications in Network for Good and EveryAction that are helping individuals and community foundations give—and giving can be time, money or voice. Then we move to the folks that are receiving those funds, nonprofits, and we have software that enables them to actually maximize their impact. So we have case management software that nonprofits utilize to actually create and manage and measure their programs. What we like to think about is from end to end, from givers to getters to doers to impact, how can we start to think about data and technology enabling efficiency and effectiveness and transparency and visibility? And our ultimate goal is to maximize social impact.In addition to this big vision, Erin identified three examples of synergy (again, my word, not hers—she didn’t cloud her judgment with an MBA in the 90s).Matching Gifts. Independently, the now combined businesses were helping Fortune 100 and other corporate clients with donor matching programs and simultaneously helping donors give. Often, employees gave without knowing their companies could match their gifts, so the gifts went unmatched. Now that Bonterra has data about matching grants and individual gifts, client companies can match many more donations. “The whole entire cycle of generosity just increased just because we have a couple of products that interact.”Impact Measurement. The combination of the four businesses enables better aggregation of data for impact measurement, allowing Bonterra to help philanthropists determine whether or not their money will make a difference.Complete Product Suite. Together, the companies offer a more complete nonprofit product suite that Bonterra can provide in a way that eases the adoption and accelerates the benefits of upgrading the organizations’ technology.This latter benefit highlights a vital part of our conversation about the benefits of technology investment for nonprofits.Never miss an episode! Subscribe!Benefits of Technology for NonprofitsFor context, Erin delivered a startling fact: 38 out of 50 states don’t have enough social workers.“An average social worker has 300 cases they’re managing, and those cases can go on for years,” Erin says. “They need tools to be more efficient so that they can spend more time with their clients.”Improved technology can also help nonprofits perform better. “They can look at their programs and say, this particular program improved school truancy. This particular program got more people into permanent housing,” she says.“For the nonprofits that don’t have access to technology and data, we’re forcing them to operate in a world where they’re knowingly not going to be able to be as good as they can be,” Erin says. “It’s part of our mission to make sure that data and tech are accessible because we believe that it’s going to be a game-changer for the world of social good.”“There’s plenty of data that demonstrates when you apply a dollar of technology, we’ve seen real-time first person, you’re getting $3.3 worth of benefit,” she says.Erin used the example of a food bank to make the point. If the goal is to have more food on the shelves at the right time, it is just as essential to have great technology as generous food donations.“We’ve got case studies that demonstrate payback periods that honestly you’d look at, and you’d think that can’t be real, but they are,” Erin says.In 2019, Steve Ballmer’s fund invested $59 million in Social Solutions, which I covered at the time with an interview with Erin’s predecessor Kristin Nimsger, who I featured in my book Superpowers for Good. Erin notes that Steve is passionate about getting nonprofits the tech they need and has devoted substantial philanthropic dollars to it.Erin calls upon her optimism as a superpower to accomplish so much good.How to Develop Optimism As a SuperpowerErin calls on her optimism to help face daunting challenges. “When you’re working with nonprofits that are on the front line, and they’re dealing with such tragedies of huge, epic proportions, I think there are times when it can be very easy to become downtrodden and think like, we’re never going to make a change.”“To me, 50 percent of this is just saying, ‘where there’s a will, there’s a way.’”Harking back to her early career in the 90s working for Dell Computer, she had an experience that has particular resonance with the current economic environment. A chip shortage and shipping delays made it almost impossible to make and sell computers.Proving her optimism, she says, “We developed partnerships with different shipping channels. We figured out how to maximize our supply in different ways. We figured out how to manage demand in ways that optimize the supply we had.” She helped Dell through a crisis that caused some competitors to shrink.“Our team recognized this is a challenge. We can rise above it,” she says.One key she points to for developing greater optimism is to remember to balance the ledger. It is common for people to focus on the problems that need to be solved. She says she always recommends having another column for the tailwinds. There are opportunities that you have to take advantage of, too.“There are oftentimes as many good things to take advantage of and as many opportunities for advancement as there are challenges,” she says.By following Erin’s example and advice, you can make optimism a superpower for good.” Get full access to Superpowers for Good at devinthorpe.substack.com/subscribe

In today's episode we will feature an interview with Dr. Earl Lewis, University of Michigan, Director of Center for Social Solutions. This interview is part of the popular "Views from the Penthouse Suite" series and was introduced by Tom Gilson, Associate Editor, Against the Grain, and conducted by Jim O'Donnell, University Librarian, Arizona State University.  Two weeks ago we featured Dr. Lewis' keynote presentation from the 2020 Charleston Conference where he showed us how leading requires more than managing change, it requires a focus on building a community of grace during such turbulent times. What a wonderful kickoff to the Conference and our new podcast season it was! Tom and Jim caught up with Dr. Lewis after his keynote to speak with him. He talked with them about his experience with libraries growing up in Norfolk, Virginia in the 1960's. He says the library, even in a segregated city at that time, became a more desegregated space for him. He recalls barriers being moved and the "opening up" as laws were changed and the impacts it had on him and his family. He also reflects how his background shapes his view of where we are as a society now and how to handle the tasks ahead of us all. Video of the Presentation is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpzHf5jFoX8

As an American social historian, Lewis also explores the significance of Black History Month. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Audio from the opening keynote of the 2020 Charleston Library Conference, a presentation by Earl Lewis, Director of the University of Michigan Center for Social Solutions, moderated by Jim O’Donnell, University Librarian at Arizona State University. Headlines scream, horns blare, neighbors march, bodies mount, and the pace of change never seems to abate. Life can seem out of control. America can appear divided along any number of fault lines. Against this backdrop, Earl Lewis argues that leading requires more than managing change, it requires a focus on building a community of grace.

“You can have weird and dangerous features in a platform if the core is that you are never gonna scale.”Internet artist Darius Kazemi is known for his many (and funny) Twitter bots under the moniker Tiny Subversions. He is also the founder of Friendscamp, a Twitter like social network with only 50 users which is run from a server in his own home. A more human scale social network built upon the input from the users. At The Conference 2019, Darius shared his vision of a radical new direction for social network sites.

“Someone should create a Center for Social Solutions, identify a handful of challenges and try to work on them over the next decade.” That directive guided professor, historian and author Earl Lewis to start just such a center at the University of Michigan. EdSurge sat down with Lewis to talk about how the center is using research to tackle some of the biggest challenges our world faces today.

Earl Lewis shares with Andrew Keen that his students give him hope for the future of democracy. In their discussion, Dr. Lewis explains that through his work at the Center for Social Solutions he has identified four main challenges for American society: addressing its slavery past, valuing diversity, dealing with climate change, and maintaining the dignity of labor in an automated world.

It was 400 years ago that the first Africans arrived in colonial Virginia, triggering the system of chattel slavery in America.

The Center is a collaboration between the USC Viterbi School of Engineering and the USC Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. Eric Rice, an Associate Professor from the School of Social Work, has been tapped to lead CAISS. The potential for AI to be an effective tool for entrepreneurs with no background in technology is confirmed by Rice himself.
