Did you ever realize that your resume was worth $26 Billion? It was when Microsoft acquired LinkedIn. So how much did you and me make from this sale? Nothing I presume? Well if we co-created the value for LinkedIn then why did we not get a percentage the sale?
At 450m members this works out to be $57.77 per member. That works out to be;
i. Revenue of $1.91/member (30x of Revenue)
ii. Hiring revenue of $1.11/member (52x of hiring revenue)

Look at the key inventory ratios. 450 million members are inventory and by this math the stock turn is 1.9x (Apple is 68x)

So what is the potential new opportunity for co-creating value around a person. In my opinion it cannot be just a resume. What if there was a model to create a whole new business model around how to value a profile. An online resume does not create any value. If a online resume was $26B then imagine a model that created a real-time value for every profile. What if everyone had a Stock Ticker that was traded in real-time like a stick exchange, a marketplace.

A stock ticker for everyone in the world! What if everyone had a single interface like a ticker that was a single model which captured value in real-time and was a liquid in a marketplace that was a quantified indicator of;
- Quantify my Skills
- Quantity my Networks
- Quantity my Experiences
However adding to my network of relationships can increase or decrease my value of my stock ticker, a natural curation process. A new model to quantify what you know, who you know and what you are doing? Watch this space.

A new model to quantify what you know, who you know and what you are doing? Watch this space. A new marketplace to “Quantify” what one does and it’s transparent both ways.
“The 22-year-old is apparently considering floating himself on the stockmarket, giving those same fans the chance to buy shares in his life – or at least his future earnings, which could be vast.”
This is the next model for quantifying skills and creating liquidity for all. LinkedIn + Amazon for skills. Everyone can list and if someone does well they ticker moves up, but if someone does not or creates a negative event like quitting jobs often or adding anyone to their network then their ticker falls in real-time. This is a behavioral design project that’s WIP. You are now a tradable equity and unlocking value for all,whether you are a professor, entrepreneur raising capital, Formula1 driver, professional sportsperson, an actor or anyone connected to the human capital ecosystem.
Did you ever realize that your resume was worth $26 Billion? Now you maybe worth the same on a stock exchange like marketplace for anyone in the world!
