# Would you rather donate to a charity or invest in a startup?

Added another poll that might be of interest to you. We’re also [discussing it on Portland startups Slack](https://pdxstartups.slack.com/archives/C0AL5389X/p1617032769082800).

> Assume you are privileged enough to have $5k to spend and are an accredited investor. You can't keep it. Are you more comfortable/motivated giving that money away to a charity or investing it in an early stage startup? The charity and startup are tackling the exact same problem.
