The first version had six industries –now it’s twelve
Seven months ago, in May 2014, we published the first version of the Collaborative Economy Honeycomb , which is also embedded at the bottom of this post. It contained six families of industries that are being impacted by P2P commerce, including: 1) Goods, 2) Food, 3) Services, 4) Transportation, 5) Space, and 6) Money. Today, we felt obliged to update the graphic, as it’s quickly expanded into many other industries and verticals. While many of these startups have been around for years, the new Honeycomb contains additional startups in the six original hexes, as well as noting expansion into these areas:
- Health & Wellness: For example, Helparound.co enables P2P diabetes care, including sharing of insulin and pumps.
- Logistics: For example, Postmates enables the final mile of delivery, and Roost enables P2P home storage.
- Corporate: Now corporations can have their own Uber-like experience with LocalMotion or build their own Airbnb with Near-me.
- Utilities: Power sharing with Vandebron, crowdfunded solar with Solar Mosaic, and WiFi sharing with Fon.
- Municipal: Cities are sharing street cleaning vehicles on Munirent, and public bike systems are heavily funded with Velib.
- Learning: Numerous startups enable students to share books on Chegg, as well as online training led by instructors and peers.
It’s worth noting that in the newer hex areas, they are often fewer logos as the market is young –in the more central hex areas, we had to remove logos due to excessive market crowding –a sign of market saturation in one area. I expect to see new hex areas in data, analytics, and a variety of new startups that offer help to providers such as insurance, financial services, benefits and more.
