Erik has invested $900 000 in the domain name Great.com because he wants to build a company that will change an entire industry from the inside and out.
info_outlineGreat.com will give away 100% of its profit, but so far we have had zero revenues. Yet, we have decided to do our first big donation - $100 000.
The purpose is to unify the team, get a publicity push, and support what we believe is a great organization - the questions to answer, are we really unifying the team, or only causing stress and distraction? And will we get any publicity at all?

Part 2:
In part two we explore how come we are donating this early. We haven't made any profits yet, still, we take this decision. Why?
