Our take
Fat Llama has an innovative angle in the sharing economy space and is aiming to do for rentals what eBay did for buying and selling used items.
There are the typical challenges with scaling this kind of marketplace with balancing the demand and the supply-side, but there are also additional complexities around rentals (e.g. how do you make sure the item gets back to its owner and not stolen). The company has been able to tackle this by offering a capped insurance for listed items.
If it can crack all the complexities and manage the demand/supply, Fat Llama should benefit from strong growth in the coming years.
