Founding a KM Start-Up

KM is hard to implement in an established organization, because of cultural issues: people are unwilling to share and are protective of their knowledge.

But this is not so in a startup: when starting a company anew, a KM culture can be developed from the very beginning.

In a new organization, people can enter with the precondition that all work (documents, presentations, etc.) done is posted up on the company wiki for all to see. This way, there are no secrets (save for some sensitive information such as passwords and financial data) – when it comes to the knowledge that fuels the business, everyone shares with everyone from the start.

I’d like to found, or be part of, such a company.
