Founders

Chapter Chapter 3 in The Business of Sharing, 2015, pp 70-96 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Just a few years after the greatest downturn since the Great Depression, it felt like the economy was healthier than ever. At least in some places. I was perched on a stool in a sleek, candle-lit San Francisco bar surrounded by 30-somethings drinking wine at $15 a glass. I was there to meet ShelbyClark, the founder of RelayRides. The last time we had met, he had pulled up in a bright yellow convertible. This time, Clark went one better. He strolled into the bar in a flared orange suit, holding aloft a giant disco ball. With his handlebar moustache immaculately curled above his huge and infectious smile, Clark explained that he had just come from RelayRides’ Halloween party.
