LIP #101
Jul 16, 2025
The Three Gates System:
- Gate 1: $100,000/year
- Gate 2: $1 million/year for life
- Gate 3: $10 million/year for life
Progression depends on earning trust through demonstrated good decision-making.
Why Non-Profits Are Favored:
- Leaders show stronger 'good from within' qualities
- People make personal sacrifices
- Better alignment with core values
Impact Measurement Beyond Dollars:
- 📈 Tangible outcomes (30% increased reach)
- 🏫 Long-term effects (programs in schools)
- 🤝 Relationship development within HPC
Evaluation Process:
- ✅ Direct interaction with founders
- ✅ In-person visits
- ✅ Trust personal judgment
- ❌ Skeptical of polished marketing
Focus: Genuine leadership over sophisticated presentations
