What is Business 3.0?
Business 3.0 is the next chapter in how we build, run, and evolve companies. If Business 1.0 was the industrial age and Business 2.0 was the digital age, then Business 3.0 is the decentralized age — where organizations act less like machines and more like living ecosystems.
At Jumpsuit, we call ourselves Stewards of Business 3.0 because we’re here to guide brands through this transition: from rigid hierarchies and extractive systems into adaptive, regenerative, and human-centered networks.
Business 1.0 → Business 2.0 → Business 3.0
Here's an overview of how each age has played out:
Business 1.0: Industrial Age: Factories, hierarchies, centralization. Companies were machines optimized for efficiency, not humans.
Business 2.0: Digital Age: Platforms, scale, disruption. Brands became global, marketing went online, but decision-making stayed centralized.
Business 3.0: Decentralized Age: Networks, ecosystems, regeneration. Companies evolve like organisms. Ownership, creativity, and value are distributed across communities, not just shareholders.
The Core Principles of Business 3.0
Decentralization – Power and ownership shift from a few at the top to networks of creatives, technologists, founders, and facilitators.
Adaptability – Organizations evolve continuously, sensing and responding to change instead of clinging to rigid structures.
Regeneration – Businesses give back to the ecosystems they draw from (people, culture, planet), not just extract value.
Human-Centric Work – Work feels meaningful, relational, and collaborative. Creativity and culture are prioritized alongside profit.
Technology as Amplifier – AI, automation, and digital tools expand human creativity rather than replace it.
Why Business 3.0 Matters Right Now
You don't need us to tell you that the old models are breaking. It's evidential with all of the burnout, employee disengagement, extractive business practices, and corporate mistrust. At the same inflection point, we're watching technology, AI, and decentralized systems explode.
This means the old playbooks don't work anymore. However, business 3.0 gives us a new blueprint:
Brands that act like communities
Agencies that function as networks
Work that feels more human
Companies that adapt like living organisms
