Launching a new venture fund

Saturday, March 21, 2009










Karl Marx and Adam Smith had a few beers down the local pub. The outcome?

They started Liquid Capitalism!


Liquid Capitalism is a venture capital firm that is founded around the following principles:
  1. Capitalism is about creating ventures that generate value to society
  2. Ideas, talent and smart execution are what makes ventures successful
  3. We are all capitalists as we own our talent, motivation and desire to work
  4. We should be allowed to invest our talent capital and reap the rewards (or losses)
  5. Talent capital should have equal footing with money capital
  6. A small group of talented partners will beat an army of hired employees
Liquid Capitalism wants to build and profit from this future by creating a new model for venture investment.
  1. Replace the firm-employee relation with an idea-talent relation
  2. Create a marketplace where talent and ideas can interact
  3. Replace large portions of money investment with talent investment
  4. Allow ventures to have a just-in-time talent pool
  5. Provide opportunity for any person to invest their talent in ideas they believe in
The idea is of course at least as old as Adam Smith, but what was a utopia in the past is now a reality because of the technological and societal progress.

Liquid Capitalism wants to be at the forefront of this new wave of ventures.
