As part of my ongoing research as an Industry Analyst on the Collaborative Economy (read all the posts), I have talked about market drivers, the market challenges, corporations who have jumped in, provided a list of startups, and published a definitive report called The Collaborative Economy. I will now help you to better understand the funding aspect of this growing movement. We obtained a list of 200 startups (appropriately using a Taskrabbit, I might add) in order to get our initial sample. I recently published an infographic helping to reveal the patterns in this sample.
Now I want to expose some additional data about the Slovakia Email List force that funds this space. Key Findings from the Collaborative Economy Funding: Heavy Funding Has Spurred this Market Forward. Across the 200 startups, I have found that 37% had been funded, with startups receiving an average of $29 million in funding. The 200 had received over $2 billion in total funding, which is a very high amount for a largely undeveloped, pioneer market. Interviews with several of the Venture Capitalists in this space indicated that they favor two-sided marketplaces which scale and have low inventory costs.
They are basically transaction machines akin to eBay or Netflix. A Few Startups Received Exceptionally Large Funding Amounts. Not all startups are equal. Some have received far more funding than others. These giants include players like AirBnb which received about $120 million; Lyft, which recently raised around $60 million; and Uber, securing over $57 million. Most startups have not yet obtained such large funding amounts, although, as this market heats up, it will find additional funding opportunities.
