[quote=Anonymous]I regularly (daily) work with start-ups, both for profits and nonprofits. I serve as a business advisor, director, investor, etc, depending on the situation. There is not a start-up that I know that has not made a mistake or two. Every CEO that I know will tell you that he or she, in fact, learns more from mistakes than successes. Read any business book by a business executive, and they will tell you the same thing. Komen has been a great success, though the PP decision was idiotic. But, as noted above, the mistake here did not cause death or property damage, did not involve a criminal act or a civil violation (even a minor violation). Komen made a stupid business decision and then quickly reversed it.

SKF is not a startup. SKF, like it or not, was seen as a woman's right organization. Now SKF is seen as a anti-woman's right group. People are going to support the foundation based on pro choice or pro life. I don't know in what capacity you advise and evaluate CEOs on a daily bases, but " cause death or property damage, did not involve a criminal act or a civil violation (even a minor violation)" is not the standard that most(in your case, the CEOs are held to that standard) CEO are held to. PS I am sure the board likes being hung out to dry.[/quote]
