Ventures | Leveraging the sharing economy

Problem: How might we utilize the sharing economy, marketplaces, and shared assets to address New Zealanders' needs while creating a sustainable commercial model? This addresses challenges like the desire to use items without ownership, unused possessions taking up space, and the high costs of storage.

Approach: Conducted groundbreaking research to recruit 100 borrowers for a sharing platform within three days.

Solution:

• Community Engagement: Over 50 individuals volunteered items for sharing, establishing a foundation of trust.

• User Experience Testing: Engaged 80 participants in rentals to test platform functionality.

Impact: Achieved a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of +30, with fewer than 5% of rentals encountering issues, highlighting the platform's appeal and operational excellence.
