The Nanocorp Primer #2
New Economy Venture Capital: A Nanocorp Perspective
New Ways to Play the Great Game of Business
2015 Update: Many years have passed since Timlynn and I actively pursued Sohodojo. Those years were "life interrupted" as we both faced stage 4 cancer battles and have, so far at least, won a few Bonus Rounds. To this end of #PayingItForward for the Gift of Life, we're essentially re-entering the world by living our lives as much as we can by the ideas we tried so hard to help gain traction at the start of the New Millennium. We'll be mining this site for "oldies but goodies" as we engage in our "Influence Without Authority" Portfolio Lives in the Citizen Science and Citizen History domains. For more about what we do now, please visit FactMiners.org and The Softalk Apple Project, and follow us on Twitter at @Jim_Salmons and @TimlynnBabitsky.
Happy-Healthy Vibes,

Preface
This installment of The Nanocorp Primer lays out a "then and now" perspective between Industrial Era venture capital and New/Network Economy venture capital. The dynamics of what Jeremy Rifkin, in 'The Age of Access', refers to as hypercapitalism are turning the World on its head.
We're increasingly living in a 'weightless' economy where access not property rules, where change is constant and market positions and brands are ephemeral. A World, in other words, tailor-made for nanocorps and their dejobbed small business portfolio holdings! A World of 'Small is Good' Business Webs where entrepreneurs and funding capitalists form dynamic peer-to-peer relations.
Note: Nanocorps are corporate conglomerates writ small and dynamic. The nanocorp business model is a means to the e-lancing, 'Brand You', 'Company of One' ideas that are capturing so many folks' attention as we try to better understand the dynamics and opportunities of the 21st Century Business and the workplace. More on nanocorps....
