What startups are working on “Uber for X?”
Entrepreneurs are always looking for opportunities for building platforms that will disrupt the current way of how industries do business. One such trend that has clearly caught up among the entrepreneurs is executing ideas described as “Uber for X or AirBnB for Y”.
There should not be any negative connotation associated with these terms. You are attempting an Offline-online integration in a niche vertical and removing inefficiencies in the existing value chain. These analogies help you to describe the value proposition and high level model in a simplistic manner without having to write 100 lines of explanation. Why these are becoming such hot trends is because all the tech (ubiquitous smartphones and connected technology) and non-tech pieces (changing consumer behaviour and more flexible employment patterns) have fallen in place enabling the revolution.
