2007 Global Networking 
Board Effect
NOVEMBER 24, 2020
BoardEffect was founded in 2007 by a team of web developers that served nonprofits and educational institutions. On the chance that you’re not familiar with Giving Tuesday, it’s a global movement that inspires people and businesses to give donations or enact positive change to transform their communities and the greater world.

Facebook (social networking following in the footsteps of Friendster, MySpace, etc). I think this has less to do with network effects which are distinct from first mover (though the two are complementary) and more to do with locking up preferential access to supply. Dropbox (cloud storage). Netflix (video streaming).

Ah, but Bird doesn’t have network effects! That’s a bit like imagining Apple launching the 2007 iPhone and then not having 10-years of constant improvements to maintain its market leadership position. This is why so many great LA funds like Upfront, Greycroft and B Capital Global have all backed Bird. There is nothing viral!

My entire world functions as a large and wide distributed network. However, for the past eight years, my partners and I at Foundry Group haven’t once scaled vertically (we haven’t added any partners since 2007 when we started) until we added Lindel Eakman as part of Foundry Group Next.
