Yes, but, recent logistic improvements and friction reduction takes this to another level.

TrendsVC PRO 0002 – Podcast Memberships
Tim didn’t make his content exclusive. He offered benefits (such as Q&A) alongside free content. The content ‘hard choke’ seems to be more effective than the ‘soft choke.’

TrendsVC PRO 0003 – Co-Living
Similar concept. Both demographics are skewed young. But many co-living residents are young professionals not college students.

TrendsVC PRO 0004 – Income Share Agreements
Perhaps students make more because interests are aligned. Can we separate these outcomes? Attend a traditional school if you think so.

Categories: Business and Sales
TrendsVC PRO 0040 – Digital Products
Presell to gauge demand and boost urgency with presell pricing. Failory used presell pricing for the Product-Market Fit book.

TrendsVC PRO 0045 – Paid Communities
Fractionally-owned assets will be the basis of “paid” communities. Nike MAG shareholders have more in common than those of utility companies.

TrendsVC PRO 0046 – SMS Marketing
This comes with platform risk, it’s not ubiquitous (cell phones ≠ smartphones) and all brands can’t justify building an app.
Categories: Business and Sales

TrendsVC PRO 0054 – Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs)
Politicians will gut the old system from the inside out. They are stakeholders in the new system and incentivized by lobbyists. The mayor of Miami is a canary in the gold mine.
Categories: Business and Sales

Launch a XaaS around DAOs. Seed Club offers social-tokens-as-a-service. Cooper Turley is a social token manager. Guide others through the frontier.
