Why aren’t marketplace startups talked about more often as go-to business ideas? Frederick sent in this sharp question for today’s episode, and it’s one Omar was excited to tackle.
In this lesson, Omar unpacks why marketplaces can be some of the most challenging business models to get off the ground—especially if you're bootstrapping or going solo. From the common pitfalls founders run into to the real stories behind companies like Udemy, Airbnb, Uber, and eBay, you’ll get an honest look at what makes these businesses tough. More importantly, you’ll hear about practical, alternative business models that are easier to launch and far more likely to lead to early success.
