Seth Godin

Seth Godin's video helped me to understand a little bit more how the Acumen Fund works, and I really liked the way he explained it using the soap analogy. Also I think that what he says about not only giving blank checks to people is very true, it is way more beneficial to actually invest in developing countries in a way that they can become more independent, so they can have more jobs for the people, which will bring several other benefits to the country (healthier people, better educated, etc.)

A point that I did not like was when he said that they should not go to Med-School because we are never going to run out of doctors, I personally think that developing countries need a lot of doctors. So doctors will also help the people of the country to be healthier, so they can be better educated, work more, etc.

In conclusion, I agree with most of the points of Mr Godin, the Acumen Fund is a great idea, and
he explained pretty well, let just hope that this will be the solution to some of the problems in developing countries.
