> When non-profits succeed they have to ask for more money. When for-profits succeed, they fund themselves.

Having managed a non-profit and having worked at a very successful one before, this just makes you sound so out-of-touch it's not even funny.

Yes, some non-profits are driven by donations, but many are not.

If by, "more scalable," you mean, "less accountable," then you're correct.
