 I’m thinking of starting a non profit to build water wells in Africa. I will sit on the board and we will spread our grants to anyone who wants to build water wells.

Oh, and I’m a VC, who’s heavily invested in one of the companies that builds water wells and I’m concerned about my return on investment.

Don’t worry, I’m not biased, anyone can apply for a grant. Anyone.

And if you question my incorruptibility, just remember I’ve been building water wells since the beginning, I have a few paragraphs written on my website, and if you question my altruism, you don’t care about fresh water in Africa!
