Charity Meets Profit: A New Way to Invest in Struggling Companies with Jared Yellin
In This Episode:
Jared Yellin discusses his work in Israel, where he acquires distressed software companies and provides them with cash and operational support. In a wildly innovative spin, he’s set up a 501C3 charity called the Innovation Bridge Foundation, which allows high-net-worth individuals and corporations to make charitable contributions and receive tax deductions.
