Selling jewellery you've made on Etsy
Learning a new language on DuoLingo
Sending a message with WhatsApp
Finding a date on Tinder
These activities are all made possible by the new collaborative economy, and they are all examples of Peers Inc companies.
A revolution has been happening in business. People are coming together with corporations to redefine how businesses work, transforming capitalism along the way. New web-enabled platforms (the Inc) are making it possible for peers to realise the potential of their excess capacity (their spare room, smartphones, experiences, free time or networks) to create exciting new ways to work and succeed.
In this path-breaking book Robin Chase, co-founder of Zipcar, shows how Peers Inc companies are unlocking the power of the collaborative economy. And further she demonstrates how this revolution is extending beyond business, changing government and legacy companies and its potential to help solve large scale social problems - from disappearing jobs to climate change.

Superb book to make you focus on 3 concepts that are vital for setting up your business.
1.Excess capacity
2.Software platform
3.Peers and contacts.
According to Robin Chase the author if you have these three core concepts you can set up and establish a viable business.
Think Airbnb, Zipcar, Uber and many many more

Sharing is cool! Especially when it comes to transportation. And can be monetarily advantageous!
