I'd say it's more like "venture anarchy" or "venture lololololol".

There's no central organization and each chapter is self-organizing. I was a trustee of the SF chapter for about two years. :)

This woman has balls, totally awesome, luv her idea to embetter ones surrounding just by empowering people to DO it. There's a lot Mill-/Billionaires can learn from her.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the concept of self-organization! Writing a thesis+project on it :)

I know some Awesome trustees, and they're not millionaires or even close to it. Just regular Joes who think it's worth $100 a month to meet some interesting people and to be part of something cool.

$100 is not 'nothing', but plenty of people would spend that on other hobbies.
