Market networks: a network where money flows on every edge

Shaan explains the 'market network' concept (per NFX / James Currier): a regular network passes likes and messages between nodes, but a market network has money flowing across every connection, like AngelList's jobs, investing, and rolling funds. He invested in MicroAcquire because it's structured as one.

“a market network is where it's 10 dots on a screen and there's lines connecting all of them, but there's money signs going in between each, right? So, like, on Facebook, you transfer likes to each other, you transfer comments to each other, messages.. But on AngelList, when you hire someone for a job, you give them money. When you invest in somebody, you give them money.”
