I would love to talk about this more. I think that taking the Paul Farmer approach to help (high quality, well thought out, with a lot of investment in people) towards social incubators, we might be able to catalyze greater impacts, one organization at a time. Let's think about this a bit more... Thanks for the comment, Daniel. I would love to talk about this more.

My favorite part is a focus on quality over quantity. A focus on getting it right before you push intensely to get it out there. I couldn't agree more. Knowing that there are a multitude of significant cash prizes, I can only imagine that a prize along these lines would be absolutely do-able. (i.e. if we are willing to give an organization 100k or more, I'm convinced we would be wiling and excited to recruit an incredible team for 1-2 months as you suggested). Of course, there are a million details to be worked out but the premise is one I like greatly. Quality is of the essence I think it is a fascinating idea.
