Last Thursday, in a fit of energy and local inspiration I signed up for NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month)*, which neatly coincides with the allies launch of Active Gray Matter (AGM).
For those of you scratching your head going huh, AGM is:
Active Gray Matter (AGM) is a socially based learning community that uses the wisdom of the crowds to build, maintain and run a business incubator for people with chronic or disabling conditions. While there are several online communities for people with chronic or disabling conditions, they are based on a medical model of disability and largely focused on health issues. AGM offers an environment that presumes that people with chronic or disabling conditions are independent and critical thinkers capable of fulfilling the functional roles of traditional business incubation experts.
During the remainder of November I’ll be blogging both here and at AGM with more information about the startup process, finding backers, creating a sustainable business model, the joys and perils of bootstrapping, self-employment of launching a crowdsharing projects.
*For the record, I’ve already missed two days. I’ll improve as we go along.
