Out of curiosity, what exactly is a "think tank"? Is it the sort of thing a person can make money by founding? What makes it distinct in type from other businesses or organizations?
I've only ever met one person that had anything to do with a think tank at a party about a decade ago, and I never got her contact details so I'm still very much in the dark.
- knuckleheads 6y agoGood question! A think tank is an organization that researches and sometimes advocates for the government to do certain things. They can be a non profit or an llc (knuckleheads’ club is an llc right now because it was the easiest to set up). In theory, you can make money from founding a think tank, but in practice it’s not a lucrative endeavour unless it becomes big enough that the president start earning steady six figures (like at the major ones in dc).
