In managed marketplaces, you are basically managing the supply side of things. You can never really change the demand (consumer trends/sentiments). So if you want to start a consumer marketplace startup you need to find out what are the areas where consumers need a better experience (10x better than the current). Then you'll need to see if the supply side of that marketplace can be managed to enhance the consumer experience. If yes, then it might probably work (but never assume that if you build it, demand will be automatically generated, instead build if demand is already there). Demand should be enormous and very frequent as opposed to operating in a niche sector. Good examples can be Healthcare (Flatiron, USA), Education (Lambda, USA), Hospitality (OYO, India), etc. This can be applied to SMBs as well.
I am a small business owner in the rocky mountain west. (Not a technology company) but this youtube channel and blog posts are helpful for all. thank you.
I loved this hallway conversation. It was very exciting, and I kept thinking of young friends to send it to. It's also just great news that many bad marketplaces are "under attack" by market forces. The great numbers of mediocre doctors, lawyers, tradespeople, and more who abuse their sinecure, often in working class or poor areas, just won't be able to get away with it under managed programs. And there's now a fair chance that plumbers will be excellent.
24:26 "the best marketplace companies that tap into latent demand that consumers have, but are unable to access today" aka a lot of unmet demand So the constraint will be in the supply instead of the demand really brilliant conversation
Great content all around. Really enjoyed the series about autonomous vehicles and how many industries the technology can / will disrupt, especially as an entrepreneur working in that space. Keep it coming!
Great video! Am currently working on a few marketplace Platforms to launch in Nigeria and this video gave me a lot of insight, more importantly, from the perspective of an investor. Well done, I love to see more videos along this lines.
I'd say the problem is more with students being unable to pay than anything. Everything we students use rn is opensource or built by students with that audience in mind. It's hard to monetize cash strapped teenagers without monetizing very hard things like attention and data (FB, tiktok, etc.)
I'd love to share my idea. My marketplace site is almost finished it is services only. But who can I trust to get help with this to take it to the next level and not cut me out of my own company?
Would Atrium (founded by Justin Kan) be considered a managed marketplace for corporate lawyers? I'm trying to understand the idea of a managed marketplace
30:30 onward, I'm confused about a managed marketplace. A marketplace of that type will have the professionals on their books as employees? Which in that case how is that still a marketplace?
No. Managed marketplace is where you control the quality of the supply side. They still don't get employee benefits and are mostly contractors, but there are checks and balances to control this supply quantitatively or qualitatively.
Hi Ms. Jin, How do we get in touch with you? My startup helps alleviate the service inefficiency and quality within the hospitality sector. I’d love to connect and talk with you. Thank you.

Sir I am working on a marketplace where CTOs can be approached for technical and architecture limitations faced by another companies. On demand basis. If you can provide feedback it would be great.
He might be just avoiding looking at her too much. Intelligent men are not unaware that looking can seem lascivious. A young woman about to graduate from the business school that I attended asked me for advice, and we met at Starbucks. She was a beautiful, buxom, young Indian woman, and was wearing an unusually low-cut dress. What should have been a very pleasant experience was excruciating, as I tried any and every way to keep my away from her breasts. I know that wasn't the situation here, but we are now hypersensitive.

Hi @chima, how is your marketplace moving?
I’m also interested to know how it’s going. Thanks
Great content, I've learned a lot thanks to you. Deep analysis and natural presentation, really perfect
Great high-level overview! Would love to see another video as a follow-up that drills down into a specific vertical and examples.
I second that

Thanks, very insightful and practical!
Is education/Academic market places for student is the next era of market places since there is a huge demand but not enough supply?
also interested in doing something in this space would love to hear them talk about it

Exactly. That doesn't really make sense.
They are employers.

Why can't the CTO's contact their fellow senior CTO's via the likes of LinkedIn? Is this really something they seek?
Well they can. But its not happening usually. Unless Credible CTOs open up to help the community.

What's on the guy's left, behind her, off-screen? It must be fascinating, he can't take his eyes off of it.
Haha yes
Now I can't stop noticing

Its actually an illusion of the table and camera angle. He is looking at her, but it looks as if he is looking away, or behind her.
please let's not use "sausage factory" as a term ever
The vast majority of major online businesses are service based organizations. This lady doesn’t know what she is talking about.
Great information. Her speech pattern is somewhat annoying. “Upspeak” makes it very hard to listen
And starting every response with "so," a Silicon Valley pretension that I found charming at first.
