Dow Jones Description

At CommerceNet, we are building a balanced portfolio of initiatives: long-term and short, high-risk and sure thing, never-been-tried and retried at the right time, too theoretical to work and so obvious it must have been tried long ago. We're looking for ideas that fulfill the promise of the Internet by: - Tapping collective intelligence to solve problems and enable better decision-making - Redefining processes to put more intelligence into programs - Dramatically lowering transaction costs and allowing the creation of new categories of products and services We collaborate with other sources of great talent who share our interests - places such as: - Open Source Initiatives, to which we contribute code and resources - Industrial R&D Labs, with whom we do joint development - Universities, where we teach, do joint research, and sponsor interns Our motto is: find the talent and back it. On the path to our shared success, we want to have fun, do good and reinvest in the future.
