It’s no secret that I am a. Lover of marketplace businesses and have been for some time. I’ve long believed in the power of the web to uniquely aggregate disparate supply and demand into a frictionless, transaction-oriented platform. It’s something we think about a lot at Spark and we’ve put our money where our mouth is, with investments in. And others capitalizing on this trend across different markets in distinctive ways. It’s even less of a secret that I love everything food. Be it. On its face, Kitch...

A Crowded Space, A Critical, but Ignored Metric for Marketplaces
http://acrowdedspace.com/post/47647912203/a-critical-but-ignored-metric-for-marketplaces
My name is Josh Breinlinger. I'm a VC at Jackson Square Ventures. And was early at oDesk. A Critical, but Ignored Metric for Marketplaces. That metric is the. Number of full timers. What sounds better to the press and investors? 100,000 experts or 100 full-time experts. I’ll take the 100 full-timers, but I think most others would go for the big numbers. Take a look at successful marketplaces:. EBay has power sellers. Etsy has the 10k club. For sellers that have sold over 10k items. When I was in consulti...
