mdlm··on The Traditional Venture Capital Model Is Broken: What’s Next?

I think the VC model can be radically improved for most of us.

The work of Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus is a great example of an alternative to the standard VC model. It gives me hope that we can do better.

Ted,

I'm not quite sure where you are quoting from.

In my model, which I call the Entrepreneurial Collective, there is no distinction between entrepreneurs and investors. There is no such thing as an 'outside investor.'

My goal is to create a model in which there is only one role (entrepreneur/investor) and no one has power over anyone else.
