I wish I knew what this sentence meant:
"Virgance is a company that seeks to promote world-changing activism campaigns using market-based methods that are profitable, scalable, transparent, and effective."
I know, deciphering press releases can be challenging sometimes. Their very wordy About page might shed some light?
Virgance? Did they hire the el-cheapo brand consultant off Craigslist? Throw darts at a horoscope? Or just pick letters out of a hat?
It's a Star Wars (prequels) reference.

quite apt when you consider that there are high levels of mistrust re: them in the nonprofit community.
Do tell! I had never heard of them before. Could be a good follow-up story.
Holy crap.
You have to read that ENTIRE page.
"The Odyssey of Virgance" ???
"The way our world currently works is not sustainable. That statement is left purposefully vague, because there are many different ways to measure sustainability, and we’re interested in all of them. ... In short, we think of Virgance as “Activism 2.0″. ???
These guys seem WAY more full of themselves than anything else. No way would I do business with this outfit, based on this page.
Besides, doesn't everyone know that Episode 1 sucked?
Unless it's an April Fool's joke. But wasn't that last week?
