A lot of companies talk about changing the world, but Teespring really puts their money where their mouth is. Not only have they been quietly supporting us (Watsi) since the beginning, but to commit $50k to every YC non-profit is truly incredible. Teespring is setting the standard for the next generation of startups, and we're proud to call you guys our friends.
Agreed it's amazing - are they getting anything in return? I'm not asking this in a skeptical way, I just mean do the non-profits run tee-springs or are they just donating money?
Startups for Startups, they will get back way beyond what they gave away. Great things will come to you if you're not asking for anything in return, because people do remember.
Oh totally! And I hope it was ultra-clear - I wasn't asking because I ASSUME they wanted something in return, but rather because that's a proposition I've never heard before. They're giving them $50k not $50k in tee-spring right? Or is it $50k in tee-spring? I guess that's my question, but either way - too cool! Proud of those guys, right thing to do.
I ended up with 3 Watsi blue logo t-shirts from Teespring because they said they weren't happy with the quality of the first 2. I kept the 3rd for myself but gave the other two away. They are certainly committed to delivering quality.
