Comment on Bill Gates' mysterious new company

Comments

There needs to be a term for the kind of agenda-less company founded by those with nothing to prove and no personal need for enrichment. "Sandbox corporation?"

'agenda-less' might not be a good description, but I see what you mean.

I'm not sure what a good term might be, but some good short descriptions might be 'altruistic endeavor' or 'pursuit of passion'.

Altruistic? He's got the Foundation for that.

Personally, I like the "Sandbox" notion (but maybe that's because I recently set up a company like that for myself, and hadn't thought of that term to describe it....)
