Hey Peter here, one of the co-founders - happy to answer any questions!

Seems like DrivenData is Kaggle meets DataKind. Is this a fair assessment?

What's your business model look like? Are you a nonprofit?

Good question. Those are both organizations we admire and good touch points for what we do.

We think of our mission as having two parts. The first is to provide high-quality machine learning to organizations with a social impact. The second is to show aspiring and practicing data scientists the really important (and really cool) questions they can tackle in the social sector. We're organized as a social enterprise because we believe it's the most sustainable way to make these things happen.
