Building The Future of Collaboration: The RnD Ventures Vision

RnD Ventures argues that current collaboration tools are fragmented or monolithic and proposes an open "super app" for work, built by a network of autonomous teams that share ownership of each other's success. The article says knowledge workers juggle 10+ tools with separate logins, and it criticizes incumbents such as Salesforce, Microsoft and SAP for operating as traditional bureaucracies. It cites Haier, with $36B revenue and 4,000 micro-enterprises, and Constellation, with 700+ businesses and $6bn+ revenue, as proof that such networks can work at scale. RnD Ventures says it plans to select 6 entrepreneurs in 2025 to launch CollabTech ventures.
