One of the interesting ironies of philanthropy (of which there are many) is that people who have less money tend to be more generous philanthropically (as a % of adjusted gross income) than people who have more money. And because of the way the numbers work out, they give out a lot. If Upsolve can help a very very very large number of people get through bankruptcy, they might be able to amass a very strong "Pay it forward" revenue stream. Not sure if enough to fund the entire org, but enough to help out.
