Questions are being asked about what it looks like for big business to get involved with the sharing economy. The concern for many is that the sharing economy has always been powered by peers interacting with peers and there is a sense of fear in losing the community element once big business gets involved.

The concern for many is that the sharing economy has always been powered by peers interacting with peers and there is a sense of fear in losing the community element once big business gets involved.
Here are some other questions that keep coming up:
- How do we define the boundaries of the sharing economy?
- Who owns the sharing economy?
- What values are unique to this movement?
- How does venture capital affect the sharing economy?
- What business models are possible now and in the future?
We can’t wait to hear from Mike Walsh, General Partner at Structure Capital, which invests in sharing economy startups, as well as Ricardo Nunez from the Sustainable Law and Economies Center, Michelle Regner of Near Me which enables brands and entrepreneurs to create a marketplace, and Kim Hunter, Co-founder of SupperShare, a meal sharing platform aimed at creating stronger local communities. The panel will be moderated by Chelsea Rustrum, of It's a Shareable Life.
