Hi, not to go into too much detail on a public forum. In part of a larger deal for real estate that I do have commercial use for, some other buildings will be included that I could either rent out or use for a charitable purpose. It's all or nothing for the deal. I actually contemplated renting them out and using the proceeds to donate to another institution. If this can instead be used to provide young PhD students with a place to live rent-free there is no taxation inbetween, which would be subtracted from what they might receive via another institution. Honestly, I mostly want to do some good with this in a way that has limited downside, and hope for the general concentration of creative career-starters with some communal infrastructure to result in a great place to live for everybody involved.

We just launched a dedicated technical due diligence / tech M&A risk consulting company. The goal is to help investors make more informed investment decisions.

We are currently building a streamlined process for investigating risk inherent in a technology company (be it a start-up investment or a critical piece of infrastructure for enterprise systems), and finding out just how much can be solved for with such a standardized approach vs. the consultants' years-long experience applied in a creative, inquisitive way.

Next to this, we are also putting a lot of hours of R&D in a financial product that's going to help make housing more affordable for good tenants AND just as or more profitable for landlords at the same time. Good progress here, already talking with banks for contractual details.

Oh cool, thanks for posting this! I used to do that back in school to kill time and later started using it to create drawings by following connect-the-dots rules. We had a get together some time ago (before Covid) where we did communal painting, and one of the rules produced a nice bird-looking thing. :) Great to see there is a name for this sort of thing.
