know more about daylight on:
Daylight is a Public Benefit Co.<br>One of my big surprises of Silicon Valley was finding out how nice & well intentioned many of the execs of “evil big tech” were. Shocking because I expected them to be evil. Heartbreaking because they weren’t.<br>It meant big tech do bad not cuz of who runs them, but because of the systematic forces they’re beholden to, ie business model & shareholder mandate.<br>So to make tech that does less evil, it’s not enough to believe we’re good people with good intentions. We need to root cause solve the systematic disincentives.<br>Thus, we decided daylight should be a PBC, with a double bottom line: not just a fiduciary duty to shareholders, but also a civil duty to uphold our public benefit purpose:<br>To help technology and humanity live happily ever after.<br>Anjan KattaFounder & CEO
