Lo said “If you can inspire and teach a young kid at age 11 to raise money or to realize they can make an impact, I just think that there are so many greater implications.”^[2] The site is also noted for the speed at which projects can be set up. Validation takes place in 48 hours and web sites can be set up in 5 minutes.^[3]
