Sherpa Ventures recently published a "must read" covering the emerging on-demand economy, popularized by companies such as Airbnb, Uber and GrubHub. It reminds me of just how fast the Internet and pervasive data connectivity has changed our lives as we're living in a world where fixed assets are a liability (hotels) but our experiences are fluid, because of our phones (short term and vacation rentals). We're seeing ecosystems contract, expand and at times, get destroyed (taxi and limousine holdings). Massive opportunities emerge (on-demand car hailing products), become unbundled, with new creative classes created (drivers and property hosts). Most exciting, as a society, we're better off and we're becoming more efficient because of the glass screens in our pocket.
