The Network Economy
Why Founders Must Rethink How Companies Are Built
An Opportunity Webinar for Founders | Presented by Shorupan
We Are Living Through a Structural Shift
AI has fundamentally changed the rules of competition. The advantages that worked for the past decade are rapidly becoming obsolete.
Skills Are Commoditized
Technical expertise that once took years to develop can now be replicated by AI systems in seconds.
Execution Costs Are Dropping
Building products, writing code, and creating content now approach zero marginal cost.
Speed Isn't an Edge
Anyone can build products faster than ever before. Velocity alone no longer guarantees market advantage.
The Hard Truth
Products Don't Win
In the AI era, traditional product advantages have disappeared almost overnight. What once created lasting competitive moats now evaporates in weeks.
Features Can Be Copied
Competitors can reverse-engineer and replicate product features within days using AI-powered development tools.
Code Generates Instantly
AI coding assistants can produce production-ready code at unprecedented speed, eliminating the traditional engineering moat.
Talent Is Replaceable
AI agents now perform tasks that previously required specialized human expertise, fundamentally changing workforce dynamics.
What Actually Matters Now
The competitive landscape has shifted. In this new reality, only one asset creates sustainable defensibility.
Networks Are the Only Real Moat
Distribution Networks
Access to channels that amplify your reach
Customer Networks
Relationships that drive retention and growth
Partner Networks
Strategic alliances that unlock new markets
Talent Networks
Access to exceptional people before they're available
Capital Networks
Relationships that provide funding and credibility
What Is the Network Economy?
Value Through Access, Not Ownership
The network economy represents a fundamental shift in how value is created and captured. Success comes from who you're connected to, not just what you build.
Networks Compound Faster
Network effects accelerate growth exponentially, outpacing linear company building.
Opportunities Flow Through Networks
The best deals, talent, and insights travel through trusted connections first.
Trust Travels Through Networks
Credibility and reputation amplify through social proof and shared connections.
Capital Follows Networks
Investment decisions increasingly depend on network position and relationship strength.
Why Founders Lose Without Networks
Building in isolation is a strategic mistake. Founders who operate outside of networks face systemic disadvantages that compound over time.
No Distribution Means No Traction
Without networks to amplify your message, customer acquisition becomes prohibitively expensive and slow.
No Network Means No Leverage
Every problem requires starting from scratch. No shortcuts, no warm introductions, no accumulated advantage.
No Access Means Slower Decisions
Critical insights, market intelligence, and strategic guidance remain out of reach, leading to costly mistakes.
No Visibility Means Missed Opportunities
The best partnerships, acquisitions, and funding opportunities go to founders who are already plugged in.
Traditional Tools Are Broken
The software that powered the last generation of companies wasn't designed for how modern startups actually operate. These tools create friction instead of flow.
Email Is Siloed
Critical conversations live in isolated inboxes with no shared context or memory. Information dies in threads.
Documents Are Fragmented
Knowledge scatters across countless files and folders. Finding what you need becomes a full-time job.
Chats Are Disconnected
Real-time communication exists separately from execution. Decisions made in Slack vanish into the archive.
No Shared Intelligence
Every tool operates in isolation. There's no unified system that learns and improves across your entire operation.
The Cost Problem
Per-Seat Pricing Punishes Growth
The traditional SaaS model was built for a different era. As you scale your team, your software costs spiral out of control.
Microsoft Teams
Charges per user, every month
Google Workspace
Charges per user, every month
Growth Tax
Every new hire increases your burn rate
In this model, success literally becomes more expensive. The faster you grow, the higher your software costs climb.
The AI Agent Problem
Per-Seat Pricing Breaks in an AI World
The entire foundation of SaaS pricing collapses when AI agents enter the picture. The model simply wasn't designed for this future.
01
AI Agents Act Like Employees
They perform real work, make decisions, and interact with systems just like human team members.
02
Agents Do Real Work
From customer service to data analysis to content creation, AI agents deliver measurable business value.
03
Agents Don't Need Seats
But should you pay per agent? Do 10 agents cost 10x more? The pricing model makes no sense.
04
Traditional SaaS Collapses
Companies that charge per seat will either price themselves out or leave massive value on the table.
What Founders Actually Need
The solution isn't another tool. Founders don't need more apps to manage. They need fundamental infrastructure that brings everything together.
A Network Operating System
Manage Relationships
One place to track and nurture every important connection across your company's networks.
Unify Data & Execution
Conversations, documents, and actions all live together with full context and history.
Enable AI Operations
A platform where AI can operate across your entire company, not just individual tools.
Compound Network Effects
Infrastructure that gets more valuable as your network grows, not just your team.

Garage vs Microsoft & Google
This Is a Different Philosophy
Microsoft Builds for Employees
Microsoft optimizes for internal productivity and enterprise IT departments. The focus is on managing workers, not building networks.
Google Builds for Documents
Google excels at collaboration on files and content. But companies are more than shared documents—they're networks of relationships.
Garage Builds for Networks
Garage is infrastructure for the network economy. It's designed to manage relationships, amplify connections, and create compound advantages.
Founder-First, Not Enterprise-First
Built for fast-moving startups that compete on networks, not bureaucratic organizations optimizing internal processes.
The Pricing Philosophy
₹5,000 Per Company
Not Per Seat
Garage pricing reflects the future of software. Flat, predictable, and designed for the AI era where value isn't tied to headcount.
