RelEconomist

Who We Are

Since our founder and principal, Paul Jaminet, originated the field of relationship economics in 2000, we have been helping businesses navigate a treacherous landscape by separating genuine trends and opportunities from the chaff of business fads and illusory change.

Relationship economics is a new social science that explains the ways social networks evolve and the optimal social structure within and among businesses. It shows how new technologies like the Internet change business structures, helping some businesses expand and forcing others to contract or go out of business entirely. It reveals how best to identify and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities; how managerial practice must evolve; and how to distinguish lasting trends from ephemeral change.

For eight years at RelEconomist™, we have applied relationship economics to help solve the problems facing executives in fast-changing industries like software technology, finance, and new media. Our clients have ranged in size from venture-funded startups to firms with $500 million revenue.

Our Services

We offer these services:

Speaking. If you want a provocative, new perspective on how the economy is changing and how firms must adapt to succeed in the emerging business environment, invite Paul Jaminet to speak to you.
Seminars. A speech gives you a few fish; a seminar teaches you how to fish. How can you learn to recognize the trends to which you have to adapt and the waves you can ride? How do entrepreneurs successfully invade a market, how do established firms successfully defend it? Which management practices cause firms to fail and which bring success?
Consulting. If you want an extended conversation in which we teach you about relationship economics, you teach us about your business problems, and together we help chart your firm's path to strategic success, invite us for a more extended engagement.
