Networks are getting smaller, not bigger
The era of LinkedIn-scale weak ties is giving way to high-trust, curated, paid communities. IB Club is part of this wave.
Why curated > open
- Signal-to-noise — A 1,000-member curated network beats a 100,000-member open one
- Reciprocity — When everyone is vetted, helping is a positive-sum game
