Part 3 we then go Glocal ~ Microequity investing to catalyze glocal innovation
Loading ...Next phase. We connect the world best universities such as Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Harvard, Tsinghua, Tel Aviv and other clusters of global innovation, from research labs to government and extend the footprint inclding to Fortune 500. We create a workflow and network people and ideas from around the world.So now you take this footprint with the same business model around the world. From Malaysia and Singapore to Australia and EU to South America and
Canada in the north. This is an ecosystem that will evolve on it’s own and grow on its ability to constantly share, collaborate, invest, divest, and move on, like an ever evolving galaxy in the universe, each with their own microcosms of credibility depth and breadth.
Why does this make great business sense.
a. Business model
b. Fundamental need in people to create wealth (I am sure most of us read Maslow’s theory)
c. The opportunity to participate in global opportunities on a scale never imagined before, $100 at a time
d. Economies of Scale & Scope and the networks become the lock-in
Imagine over 2 million people work in the ICT industry in India alone (estimated to be around 4 million by 2008 according to NASSCOM) and if everyone invests over $100 a year, that is a $200 million fund a year investing in startups, companies, ideas, etc. anywhere in the world. Picture this. The founders of Google Larry and Sergey, had maxed out their credit cards and if someone like Andy Bechtolsheim had not invested his $100,000 we may never have had a Google. For one Google investment like this there hundreds of ideas and people who don’t get invested in across the world from California to Boston, Helsinki to London and Shanghai to Bangalore. So now that becomes a possibility. The chance to participate in anyone’s idea, company or network across the world which you believe in. Likwise other professionals and investors around the world can participate in this change.
Now you democratize investing leveraging micro-equity as a risk capital model for ideas, startups and companies globally.
Isn’t that mind-blowing considering you may now have the opportunity to invest $100, $1000 or maybe even your $100,000 or your own network into the next Google, Microsoft, Intel or others that we have not even imagined.
According to this a must read report for those who think that they have a job and that is their insurance for the future, they are wrong. Most companies die so fast whether in the Fortune 500, Forbes 100 or S&P 500 that makes ideas obsolete all the time. It concluded that around 75% of the S&P 500 by 2020 will be companies that we do not know today! So think again.

There are many studies which detail the reasons why companies over time die off. If I remember correctly, its something like 15% survive over an 80year time period.
IBM and Xerox are good examples where the organisation has undergone emourmous change to counter the ‘natural’ cycle and have been forced to reinvent themselves numours times. IBM’s W3 platform is a good example of how they are are somewhat implementing large scale collaboration with a similar number of participants (300,000) that you are talking about here.
HI Gerard,
you raise a very interesting concept. We believe that it starts with basic financial education, stuff that definitely isn’t taught at school but has every relevance in the real world.
