Peter was a master class just in how to not lower your own worth but show how you could get more value for the same cost to you. Deborah wanted it so much for the right reasons, Peter just had to make it more realistic

[@BenjaminGoose]

Imagine simping for a billionaire who will never know you exist.

[@JaceTan-90]

I think Peter did the right move, and gave all dragons more equity in the process. Additionally, they didn't want to let this entrepreneurs given how much little equity that they are willing to accept either.

[@hughzarie1860]

[@sigma_z]

​@@monec.11all I can think of is corporations offsetting their revenue with charitable contributions to this "Charity"? Or maybe there's a new law that requires corporations to offset their carbon footprint and this is one way to demonstrate their efforts to reduce carbon emissions or offset it?

​@@kathymaxted9485then this app sounds perfect. You don't have to advertise how well you do, you can use the app purely to find opportunities to help others without posting about it on social media. If you want the spotlight for helping others, this app lets you do that, if you just want to help, to be a good Samaritan and keep knowledge of those good deeds between those concerned, then you can do that too.

[@veeandness]

I just... I don't love the idea of already working a long shift, to hear my manager say "Here's an app I signed you all up for, we WILL be checking if you do out of work hours voluntary work" Like, I wanna do good, but I don't want to be MADE to do it by my employers, and this looks like it could be REALLY abused by companies desperate to look good to consumers.

[@SamTheEnglishTeacher]

At my wife's company, they do volunteer work during work hours. But it's a 50% state owned company operating in an oligopoly, so is incredibly wasteful. I expect there's similar bloat in the larger corporates.

[@yaboiavery5986]

Exactly my thoughts

[@valentinivanov2029]

In my company, we have 2 paid days that we can use for volunteering. And in fact since this year, we use onHand app

[@sigma_z]

Which is why every company should be remote employees only to reduce and minimise any carbon footprint so all this effort with forced mandated volunteering would be mute.

[@veeandness]

Sadly they'll NEVER do that, because property is also a valuable asset to them, and being able to have more control over the workforce keeps people down and more willing to put up with bad conditions.@@sigma_z

[@Rusmiester]

I would love to understand the information governance elements of this platform and the holding of personal and potentially sensitive data. I guess that when a person posts an opportunity to help them or someone else they consent and I the data sharing. The app would need some serious security and GDPR compliance.

How does that trigger you? CEO simply means the leader of a private limited company, his business is not a sole trader it's a private limited company,.

[@Aeviae]

The company you work for pays for you to use the app. It gives the company a higher ESG score which can attract top level investors who are now making investment decisions based on these scores. It also means the company doesn't have to do environmental good that actually effects their operations i.e. their bottom line.

Peter has always been my favorite dragon and he just illustrated why! He is a master negotiator and no wonder why he is so successful!
