P2P do you know? You should.

Like B2B or B2C P2P is a business model made person to person where the platform (site, app, etc) just organizes things and the transaction is done directly between people. Torrent, car ride apps, discussion groups and person to person loans are good examples. Just like Linkedin itself, why not. At least 7 of the Unicorn companies today are actually P2P (my fault in my article on unicorns but I only understood the term well recently).

I do not know about you but I do believe that P2P business should increase exponentially. Because? Because business is done (all of them) from person to person. Preferably with those people you know and trust, even between businesses - which by the way are frying brain to  impersonating it.

Anb as e-commerce grows, we see vendors (the person on the edge) increasingly unprepared, but this is another matter. Back to what matters. We have to stop thinking only about B2C. In time almost 50% of unicorn companies are not B2C. In fact they are neither marketplaces, nor do they use applications.

According to the Global Unicorn Club there are now 216 unicorn companies in the world.This fact alone seems to discourage those whose dream is to create a startup and turn it into a billion dollar company. If it were an easy task I do not think they would have that name. Global Unicorn 2017 List 41% of these companies are essentially B2B and 42% are not related to any mobile or tablet app. This is another interesting point for those who believe that all unicorn companies are like Uber although this one represents almost 10% of the total value of the unicorns. But continuing. What do these companies do anyway? Ok, 16% are e-commerce companies or marketplaces but what about the rest? I discovered that 13% are fintechs and + 13% Internet Software ...

Turnover over time. What's on Google and Amazon?

Isn't that something?
