I was recently at a Calgary+Acumen Fund event where CAWST presented on social impact investing and measuring performance of an organization. It was a great conversation, in large part, because here was a charity that was advocating for stronger evaluation metrics before donors make charitable contributions.
When an individual evaluates a company before s/he invests there are several things that are evaluated:
- Leadership
- Financial stability
- Product
- Opportunity for financial gain
- Future plans and growth opportunities (new markets)
- Competitive landscape

Several weeks ago I presented to Calgary's JCI chapter. My presentation was about failure. I started with a TEDx Video where Tom Wujec presents on how building a marshmellow tower leads to team building and creative problem solving.
