I’m confused. It seems to me Interise is a simply a supplier. As the author points out in the webinar on this topic, the small business support field is well populated with options. Since Interise is licensing their approach to 75 “partners,” those partners are really customers. They have others options they could pursue/purchase to address entrepreneur development. So what Interise is doing doesn’t seem particularly different than basic marketing 101, customer development, supply chain management, etc. If the business (Interise) to consumer (the ~75 organizations buying the street MBA curriculum) model is going to pass for network building and system enrichment, then how have we moved from the supply-demand fundamentals of capitalism? I’m not even sure why Interise’s activities would be tax exempt (maybe these product revenues aren’t).
