Relationship Economists

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 great 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, 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 venture-funded startups to firms with $500 million revenue.

Our Services

We offer two 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.
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.
