🔮 Better living through chemistry; openness; DAOs; the future of food & whales ++ #343
Hi, I’m Azeem Azhar. I convene Exponential View to help us understand how our societies and political economy will change under the force of rapidly accelerating technologies.
✨ Network effects are at the heart of what I call the unlimited company in my book Exponential. Even though network effects have driven as much as 70% of value creation in tech since 1994, founders still find themselves in the dark when it comes to leveraging their power. To uncover how network effects shape businesses, I invited the expert, James Currier, Partner at NFX, an investment firm, to join me on the podcast. You can listen to our conversation here or wherever you get your podcasts. You can read the transcript here, or a quick summary here.
