From Airbnb to Uber to FD alum Boatbound to Founders Den itself, the sharing economy is exploding. Come hear what this means to you and your company. After authoring the seminal report on the Collaborative Economy, Jeremiah became so enamored with the movement that he quit his job to found Crowd Companies: ‘The Collaborative Economy is a powerful movement. The people formerly called consumers are now getting what they need from each other, rather than from traditional institutions. Instead of buying new things, people are sharing products with each other in an emerging societal shift called the Sharing Economy. Meanwhile, the Maker Movement is empowering communities to build their own products, displacing the traditional role of manufacturers. These Empowered Individuals are beginning to function like hotels, taxis, farms, restaurants, manufacturers, and other traditional business models. The crowd is becoming a company unto itself — it’s backed by powerful technologies, like social networks and mobile devices, and it is self-organizing. However, what role do companies play, if people get what they need from each other?’
