Out of curiosity, do these major donors receive partial control over Watsi in return? If so, what's the mechanism for that? Board seats?

Most of our funders don't receive anything in return. They just want to help Watsi scale. That said, many of them serve as informal advisors to us.

So far, we've asked two of our funders to sit on our board (alongside Premal Shah of Kiva): Paul Graham, and Christy Chin of Draper Richards Kaplan Foundation.

Thanks for the explanation. Congrats on the fundraise!
