I think Founders Pledge is a great way for entrepreneurs to give something back to causes they care about when they don't have much liquidity but want to show a solid intention to do so. I joined the pledge as it was a perfect way for me to support a cause I believe in, and at the right time do so in a big way. I encourage all entrepreneurs to take Founders Pledge if they have given any thought to giving back, they may find they can give back sooner than they think!
