Spent a lot of time analyzing how ecosystems of people form.

If I were to hypthosize, I think that the "software" that is running in the current human operating system is still coded for trusted networks of 150.

We started with clustered tribal communities of ~150, and in today's age, that number still stands for how many relationships we can realistically manage (trust diminishing as you spiral outward from the center).

This doodle was the first iteration of working out how to organize an ecosystem of people. From a design standpoint, people were the focal point - any business, non-profit, personal or professional network.

The goal: identify your Leads (1 per Domain), your Core Team (primary supporters to your Lead), Technicians (volunteers, contractors, etc), Advisors and Audience. Acknowledge that ecosystems have natural constraints (enough of the exponential growth BS). And your main constraints are how many relationships ONE Lead can truly manage without burning out (and still get their work done).

Especially as an entrepreneur where the first Lead is typically in multiple (if not ALL domains), the potential for destabilization is very high.

The most important person in an ecosystem? The First Follower.
