The Business Experiment

I’m Johnnie Moore, and I help people work better together

Take a minute to check out The Business Experiment.

This is the brainchild of Rob May one of my co-authors on the More Space project. Rob explains:

The Business Experiment is a site meant to explore three concepts: wisdom of crowds, open-source business and the distributed nature of work. The goal is to have the registered users of this site collectively start and run a real business. Business plans will be written. Financing will be sought (if needed). Employees will be hired. Systems of accountability will be put into place.

Rob’s following the entrepreneurial principle of throwing mud at the wall. And I’ve thrown my first bit of mud by registering and as I write I’m taking part in my first poll – evaluating four business ideas.

Please go to the site and if you’re remotely interested, register and let’s see where this thing goes! (Interesting, I’m using “we” language, like I have a stake in this…)
