I am a member of Erik Wachtmeister first company A Small World I haven't logged in for ages heard they now charge.

This sounds exactly the same and will probably fail for exactly the same issues. A lot of the people aren't really "1 percenters" at all but rather people who live of the "1 percenters" and so the benefits one ends up getting unless they are trying to make money on these people are easy to overlook.

A much better example of a 1 percenter community is Angellist's syndicates. I got a lot of connections that way.

Ah - interesting.

I was a part of A Small World. The unique-ness of it was a draw at first, but it fizzled pretty quickly. Don't know anyone early on who stuck it out...

Are 1%ers really that rare or special?

There are 3 million of them in the US.

Well that depends whether you think 1% is rare or not.
