James Cameron talk notes

We need a different kind of organisation to create organisations that are for the public good
they would be:
  • easy to form, easy to dismantle, perhaps has a defined end
  • something that is as monumental as limited liability
  • like the Olympic organizing groups

How does innovation finance work?  There is a gap in the process.
  • Large capital providers are conservative and need proven solutions (large capital providers underestimate the risks in proven products and overestimate the risks in new technology)
  • Pure research funds are available for initial research
  • VC's only partly fill the gaps
  • Can the super fund industry help? Banks don't help

What is the "what is will continue fallacy" called?
