Brautigan and Tuck Holdings was founded in the virtual world of Second Life in October 2006. CEO, IntLibber Brautigan had a vision for a virtual world built on the principles and vision of Neal Stephenson in his novel Snow Crash, where a free-market ungoverned future was possible through contract law and personal accountability.

What is Second Life?
Second Life, aka SL, is a 3 dimensional virtual world with fully functional economic tools, like a currency exchangable for real world currencies in both directions. Users of SL, via their 'avatars', can build buildings, script programmed objects, upload textures, music, 3D models, and animations, clothing, furnishings, vehicles, or anything else you can imagine and use, buy, and sell them in a free and open market unfettered by real world regulations or taxation.
The power of these tools make the software of Second Life a fantastic place for real world businesses engaged in e-Commerce already on flat 2-D websites to bring the brick and mortar back into the internet. With 3 dimensions, businesses can create 3D models of their real world products for people to examine in greater detail than is possible in a flat 2D webstore. They can try out virtual versions of those products in the simulated environment, either buy them, or be given them as promotional items to help build brand loyalty for your existing customers. As an example, Nissan gives out virtual copies of its Sentra car for free to build brand awareness.
These capabilities mean that SL is becoming the next phase of the internet, an evolution from web to a grid, or 'metaverse', from 2 dimensions to 3.
In SL you can interact with others in real time, via text chat or voice discussion. You can view media presentations with customers and colleagues, tele-conference or video-conference your global staff, something many companies are doing already, such as IBM. What is Brautigan & Tuck Holdings?
BNT is primarily a property development company which has operated since its inception in SL since October 2006, and now operates 42 'sims' in SL.
Tenants can purchase land in any of the Ancapistan estates and maintain viable businesses and organizations in highly polished and professional environments. BNT is second to none in customer service and orientation to the metaverse that is known as Second Life.

BNT also hosts the Ancapistan Capital Exchange, where residents have a chance to make Linden Dollars by investing in Second Life companies, trading their stocks, stock options, as well as currency and land futures. Business developers can list their companies on the exchange, under the standards of the SL Exchange Commission, to raise capital for growth in a micro-cap setting. Residents can enjoy their profits by exchanging their Lindens (L$) for US Dollars or other real world currencies via the ACE Currency Exchange. Many residents of Second Life make their livings off of their business activities in SL. With creativity, hard work, and a little luck, you can to.
