From Social Networks to Market Networks

Saturday, March 12
12:30PM - 1:30PM

Hilton Austin Downtown
Salon C
500 E 4th St

A new category of digital company has emerged combining the best elements of social networks like Facebook with marketplaces like Airbnb. Opportunities for 'market networks’ exist wherever there are networks of service professionals supporting an industry vertical. These market networks will have a massive positive impact on how millions of people work and live, and how hundreds of millions of us buy better services. AngelList, Houzz, AnyRoad, LiquidSpace and StyleSeat are pioneering examples of successful market networks. We’ll discuss the key attributes of market networks and how companies can take advantage of this potential to gain their own network effects.
