“You talk a lot about exponential organizations, what in the hell are you talking about,” asked Draney. After a bit of laughter from the crowd, Charania summed it all up (see the 10 minute mark of the video for the question): So, what the hell is an exponential organization then? Charania looks at it from the technology investor side, and as a result the companies at the intersection of exponential technology. He posed the question of there being two markets growing exponentially, drones and 3D printing. But who is 3D printing drones? For Rokk3r Labs, it’s exactly these kinds of organizations that can grow exponentially, and therefore the kinds of companies they specifically work with. For those unfamiliar with Rokk3r Labs, they are not an accelerator, incubator, or development shop. They focus on co-building. Co-building is a new concept that caters to those who have ideas with exponential reach, but don’t yet have the team or resources in place to turn it into a company. As a partner of Rokk3r labs, the company trades time and effort in exchange for equity. Launched in Miami Beach, FL in 2012, the company has raised $5M in their initial round. On October 4-6, Tech Cocktail Celebrate Conference is gathering hundreds of attendees, industry leaders, and inspiring speakers in downtown Vegas to meet the hottest startups and investors from around the country, learn and collaborate with others turning their communities into startup cities, and enjoy music, parties, and llama spotting.
