A manifesto of beliefs and ideas from the team at http://www.rentoid.com/ - the place to rent anything on line. A simple business based on the common sense idea of people renting their stuff to and from each other.
2. We believe in opposites . The opposite of buying & selling is keeping, recycling. Renting.
3. Humans needs to better utilize resources in order to survive. We need less duplication of stuff. We’ve built an economic model around this idea.
4. 3. Technology will change resource allocation forever. We help people find each other for this purpose.
5. 4. Renting stuff improves living standards while reducing consumption simultaneously. This gets us excited.
6. 5. We will never have grey or any color cubicles. Our people work where they please geographically. We trust each other.
7. 6. Fun at work is more important than all things. It is not a corporate event, a team building exercise or a day out. It is how we roll.
8. 7. We don’t work with jerks. Even if it could be financially beneficial. We’d rather be poor than unhappy.
9. 8. Too much money creates laziness and reduces creativity. We use our brains first and our wallets second. For rentoid, and personally.
10. 9. Eco friendly businesses don’t require stratospheric IQ’s or scientific insight. Just common sense. Renting makes sense. We are working for common sense.
11. 10. Market research is a waste of time. We just do it and find out the truth from the real world, not some kind of simulated reality. We prefer actual reality.
12. 11. Although a web business we are run by real people. You can talk to our real people. We exist, we want to interact with our people.
13. 12. No amount of success will result in gate keepers. We aim to be available, open and real forever.
14. 13. We cross the chasm of virtual on line connections and make them real. We facilitate physical interaction.
15. 14. We want the community to embrace trust again. We believe people will do the right thing when trusted. Even with other peoples stuff.
16. 15. Humans are inherently good. Corporations are built to dehumanize. Limited liability? Horrible concept. We are liable for our actions. We are humans.
17. 16. We don’t confuse people with our language. We don’t trick people with terms & conditions. We speak like people. We are people. We answer our phone calls.
18. We take risks. We make lots of mistakes. We have pride. We help people. We are patient. We believe in what we’re doing We are rentoid.com
