My passion and my greatest strength is recognizing opportunities and methods to efficiently match scarcity and abundance to pursue maximum aggregate utility. What does that mean?Lester Thurow said: “One of the peculiarities of economics is that it still rests on a behavioral assumption, rational utility maximization, that has long since been rejected by sociologists and psychologists who specialize in studying human behavior”My investment thesis is also my life mission. I dream of an efficient world where people make decisions that move towards maximized aggregate utility. I craved guidance as an early entrepreneur; but the reality was the population of top mentors willing to invest time in an unproven recent graduate was small. I reached out to high-profile white collar convicts; they had an abundance of time, knowledge, and defining experience. but scarcity in opportunity to share those assets with the world – so I became their proxy.The commonality between most the world’s highest valued startups is pursuing the most efficient ways to arbitrage abundance and scarcity – the challenge is getting the users to recognize when a new value proposition is better for them relative to existing market alternatives.Email me at Tom.Hecht@globalinnovationecosystem.org - let's work together in this lucrative and mutualist initiative to make this world more efficient.
