“The third is "PBC" - We are a Public Benefit Corporation and we want people to know it. For those not familiar with this, it is a legal structure. Our purpose, as stated in our articles of incorporation, is to create healthy high performing organizations where people can realize their potential and do their best work. Our governance requires us to pursue this purpose. In his most recent book Incorruptible, Eric Ries (famous for The Lean Startup) discusses how the PBC structure can help organizations from succumbing to the "financial gravity" that inevitably pulls organizations away from a broader purpose.” — Greg Harmeyer on LinkedIn
