I liked the concept of bringing a network of partners and applying venture capitalism principles. Chopra was recruited as the first chairman of the Pittsburgh venture, which in March set up its governance structure and formed committees. It is now searching for a chief executive. Partner education is strongly emphasized, since most partners aren't familiar with the inner workings of nonprofits. One such seminar is scheduled for 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today at the Bidwell Training Center in Manchester.
Nonprofits typically take longer to achieve success and sustainability.
