Network Effect: Research
Exploring relational networks
At Networked Effect we research relational networks. We're interested in networks where interactions are not transactional, i.e. people do not do things quid pro quo, but rather because they trust that the network will provide for them in some unquantifiable way.
We want to surface all of the ways that networks underlie our social, economic, and cultural lives.
We want to know more about what flows between people in networks and what they do together, how people discover value and how they contribute. How the network makes them feel.
