invasive species

Henry King (of Doblin) makes a widely-recognized observation that the recession will lead to innovation. He takes it one small step farther: as the economy picks up again, we'll see emerging new business models and unexpected fast-growing players in many stagnant industries.
These are currently tiny and invisible firms, and as the economy picks up steam they'll take off and grow much faster than their peers. It seems we without jobs right now are extremely well-placed to take advantage of this by looking for such innovation and placing ourselves within these types of companies.
