The Collaborative Economy market is hot. Investors have put $220 million into Instacart at the very end of this year. Valuation speculated at $2 billion. For context, this market has been funded over $9 BILLION and much has occurred this year. Why is this important? Instacart (and Postmates, Deliv and Uber Rush) enable any business to now have an instant delivery arm, spurring local commerce. Now, any company can be a Crowd Company by partnering with the people. For comparison, popular social networks have only been funded about $5.4b --this market is expected to larger than social, per VC deployments. Heres a spreadsheet of total funding, Ill update it later with this new data: https://docs.google/a/crowdcompanies/spreadsheets/d/12xTPJNvdOZVzERueyA-dILGTtL_KWKTbmj6RyOg9XXs/edit#gid=253059398 on.recode.net/149n5qD
