It ventures into differentiating between non-managed (e.g. Craigslist), lightly managed (e.g. Grubhub), and managed marketplaces (e.g. TheRealReal). Online labor marketplaces are also highlighted in the book &#8211; regardless of whether they facilitate fully remote work (e.g. UpWork) or match the employers and job-seekers for the purpose of an in-person or a hybrid work arrangement (e.g. Monster).Finally, the book lays out the trends in the realm of online marketplace businesses, makes predictions about the future of online marketplaces, and suggests several profitable niches and business models for new marketplace founders.<br \/>Praise for &#8220;How to Kickstart an Online Marketplace: The Foundations for Success&#8221;&#8221;A timely book that provides hands-on advice for founders based on real-life examples.
