charter cities

there’s been a lot of discussion about how new firms are created and find their way to becoming self-sustaining. I’m thinking of paul graham and similar thinkers on this. the benefits of startups include the ability to create a new organization with new goals and new ways of operating such that the faulty assumptions of the past are no longer weighing on the ability to move forward. the trade off is that the nascent firm has no established customer base, little money, and no existing internal culture or social capital.
