Any Examples of Antifragile Business Models?

Nassim Taleb has this definition of antifragile - : "Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty. Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the phenomenon, there is no word for the exact opposite of fragile. Let us call it antifragile. Antifragility is beyond resilience or robustness. The resilient resists shocks and stays the same; the antifragile gets better."

I tried spending some time on coming up with some examples of anti-fragile business models but couldn't. The activity was triggered by this idea.

Do you know of any business model that is anti-fragile?
