Centralized Services
One Infrastructure, Shared by Every Enterprise
A small brick-and-mortar business — a barbershop, a bakery, a digital services shop — can rarely afford its own finance department, HR function, or IT support on its own. Bundled into a larger organization, it doesn't have to. Every enterprise Experiment Inc. launches draws from centralized finance, HR, admin, and IT — real infrastructure, pooled once and shared by all. This is a big part of what makes the model substantive rather than nominal: a new enterprise doesn't start from zero. It starts already supported.
Shared Space, Wherever Possible
Wherever we can, we want these enterprises to share physical space too — not just back-office systems. A shared hub makes room for the kind of brick-and-mortar businesses that couldn't exist inside a purely digital model, and it creates something a spreadsheet never will: the ordinary, unplanned moments of actually running into each other. Community isn't a program we schedule. It's what tends to happen when people share a building.
One Culture, Not a Federation of Separate Ones
This shared infrastructure carries something more than logistics. Discipleship and leadership development don't belong to any single enterprise — they run through the hub itself, so that someone working at one Experiment Inc. business and someone working at the next one are being formed by the same culture, the same discipleship process, the same path toward leadership. That's a deliberate choice. Without it, growth would just produce a loose collection of separately-run, Kingdom-flavored businesses with little in common beyond a shared owner. With it, every new enterprise is shaped by the same vision and mission from day one — connected by more than a name.
What discipleship and leadership development actually look like, and why they matter, has its own space — see Discipleship and Developing Leaders.
