How do I scale an on-demand business?A founder once shared a milestone that most entrepreneurs dream about. "We've doubled our customers in six months." It sounded like the beginning of a success story. Then came the second sentence. "Our customer satisfaction scores have dropped, providers are leaving, and support tickets have tripled." That conversation stayed with me because it revealed an uncomfortable truth about growth:...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 596 Visualizações 0 Anterior

How Do I Solve the Chicken-and-Egg Problem on a Marketplace?Few business challenges sound as innocent as the chicken-and-egg problem. The phrase itself feels almost playful. Harmless. Academic. Something discussed over coffee rather than in boardrooms. Marketplace founders quickly discover otherwise. Because behind that familiar expression lies one of the most stubborn obstacles in platform economics. Buyers want sellers. Sellers want buyers....0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 2K Visualizações 0 Anterior

How Do Marketplaces Attract Buyers and Sellers?Every successful marketplace begins with a problem. Not a technology problem. Not a software problem. A people problem. Someone has something. Someone else wants it. Between those two realities sits friction—uncertainty, inconvenience, lack of trust, lack of visibility, lack of timing. The marketplace steps into that gap. At first glance, the model appears almost suspiciously...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 2K Visualizações 0 Anterior

How Do Marketplaces Scale?The first marketplace I analyzed looked unstoppable. Customer sign-ups were climbing every month. Investors were enthusiastic. Press coverage celebrated the company's rapid expansion, and the leadership team spoke confidently about entering new cities before the end of the year. Then the numbers told a different story. In several markets, customers couldn't find enough service providers. In...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 971 Visualizações 0 Anterior

How Do On-Demand Businesses Make Money?There is a moment that still sticks with me. A founder proudly walked me through a product demo. Everything felt frictionless. A customer could request a service in seconds, track the provider in real time, pay automatically, leave a review, and receive personalized recommendations for the next purchase. Then I asked a simple question. "So where does the profit come from?" The room got...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 1K Visualizações 0 Anterior

How Do Platform Businesses Scale?Most businesses grow by adding more. More employees. More inventory. More locations. More equipment. Growth, in many traditional organizations, is often a process of accumulation. Platform businesses operate differently. Sometimes dramatically differently. A platform can add thousands of users without adding thousands of employees. It can facilitate millions of transactions without...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 2K Visualizações 0 Anterior

Is the On-Demand Economy Sustainable?A few years ago, I watched a delivery driver step out of his car in the middle of a rainstorm. He checked his phone, adjusted a package under his arm, and ran toward a building entrance that had no clear signage. When he returned to his vehicle, he paused—not because of fatigue, but because of something else. He was recalculating whether the next trip made financial sense. Not...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 815 Visualizações 0 Anterior

What Are Commission-Based Marketplaces?A transaction completes. A customer receives a product. A seller earns revenue. And somewhere in the middle—quietly, invisibly—a platform takes a small slice of that exchange. No negotiation at checkout. No separate invoice for the fee. No interruption to the buyer’s experience. The marketplace simply earns its share. This is the essence of a commission-based...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 2K Visualizações 0 Anterior

What Are Commission-Based Models?A founder once showed me a marketplace that had everything going for it. Customers were signing up faster than expected. Service providers were enthusiastic. Reviews were overwhelmingly positive. On paper, the business looked healthy. Then I asked what percentage of every transaction the company retained. The answer came quickly. When I asked why that particular percentage had been chosen,...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 894 Visualizações 0 Anterior
