I’m noticing a new trend developing. Specialty vetted network companies are cropping up more and more. The famous ones are Uber and AirBnB. But other smaller ones are companies like Style Seat (serving the hair stylists of the world) and Handy Book (serving the people who need handy work or house cleaning). There are several other too.

I can see a future where every vertical has company or two who is operating as a vetted network with reputation, background checks, and dedicated to the specific needs of the people who purchase or operate in that vertical.
