Car Next Door was a peer-to-peer car sharing service that set out to challenge the one person, one car mentality. Starting in 2013, Will and his co founders grew the company up until their recent deal with Uber at an estimated valuation of 50 million to create Uber car share.
Throughout the episode, Will talks about the intricacies of building a two-sided marketplace and how starting in a niche market helped them succeed. If you enjoyed this episode, feel free to leave a review and share with family and friends.
