Cost Narrative

The innovation in the Extreme Enterprise Development Model revolves around collaborative funding and development which allows one to bypass third party funding sources such as venture capitalists or banks. The essence is the direct way to involve stakeholders, in which the stakeholders receive maximum value in return for their commitment. Because this model optimizes stakeholder value - and in an integrated sense - meaning not in a zero-sum game fashion - this model is likely to succeed in the funding of transformative projects. Since today, the system does not like to fund its transformation - only in small piecewise steps - the Extreme Enterprise model allows for otherwise unfungible projects. Our goal is to create a crowdfunding mechanism - albeit one that produces sufficient resources to actually get things done. For significant impact, the amount of value involved must be in the millions of dollars.

In the Seed Home case, our initial goal is 2000 people, 200 entrepreneurs, and a dozen OSE Fellows in Training.
