About me
Fumiya Miura
Living in San Francisco/Bay area in
order to learn what Silicon Valley is in firsthand.
I am interested in Sharing Economy, Subscription
-Services and Blockchain. The purpose of making
this material is that I want to get deeply knowledge
in this industry and I just want to know what kind of
startups are succeeding and existing.Through this
material, I learned how to grow sharing economy
in the past. Also, learned how to grow the market
in the future. I am planning to make material about
subscription services as well. I want to establish our
company in near the future therefore I am staying in

Purpose
1. To research what sharing economy is and to know there is a potential
to grow in the market or not.
While I am living in current generation, the opportunity to use p2p services
is getting to be increased like UBER, Lyft and Airbnb. From my experience,
the services is purely useful and cheaper than others had already existed,
which means those services have a potential to allow people’s life more
convenience and more comfortable. I just contribute to make people’s
lifestyle comfortable. And I believe that market place of sharing economy
will be continuously expanded in the future.
2. To know what kind of companies are existing and dead.
Although I am using p2p services in my life, there are many companies
existing that I just don’t know. To join sharing economy market, I have to know
what kind of companies can exist and how growing they are. When I can know
those information, I can fight this area.
What is “Sharing Economy”?
The sharing economy is an
economic model often
defined as a peer-to-peer
(P2P) based activity of
acquiring, providing or
sharing access to goods
and services that are
facilitated by a community
based on-line platform.
Collaborative consumption
or the sharing economy
refers rather to resource
circulation systems which
allow a consumer two-sided
role, in which consumers
may act as both providers
of resources or obtainers
of resources
Why is “Sharing Economy” pervasive?
2. Rampant spread of poverty:
These resulted to corresponding increases in unemployment and
underemployment. In order to adapt, there is a need to come up with
alternative business models and economic structures.
3. Rise of information technologies:
Certainly, it is now easier for people from different parts of the globe
to communicate and transact directly with others.
1. Rapid population growth:
As the population grows, demand for goods and services also increases,
so there is a need to look for alternative ways to address the increasing
demand for these resources
What is advantage of “Sharing Economy”?
1. Circulation of resources.
2. Full utilization of resources.
3. Development of a culture of trust.
4. Increase in product or service variation.
5. Evolution of the role of organizations or companies.
What is risk of “Sharing Economy”?
1. Security issues:
If one party fails to deliver or keep its end of the bargain,
there are serious consequences that must be dealt with.
2. Accountability issues:
This risk is higher in companies that act as third parties or
intermediaries in two-party transactions
How to grow “Sharing Economy” in the future
・The sharing economy is estimated to grow from
$14 billion in 2014 to $335 billion by 2025.
・Growth rate of sharing economy and
traditional rental 2013 to 2025
・In Airbnb cases, Airbnb are
stronger than hotel markets.
←Traditional rental sectors are
gonna be weaker than sharing
economy market. Which means,
changing the way of getting and
using things.

Investors:
Uber is a mobile application that allows subscribers
to get a car service from their smart phones. Users
can request a car by telling the company a location,
via texting an address or using iPhone or Android apps
to set a pickup location on a map. Uber will send the
nearest driver for pick up, and text message an estimated
arrival time. When the ride is over, Uber will automatically
charge the users' credit card on file. Uber takes GPS data
from the ride and charges for distance or time depending on
speed. Any tolls and surcharges incurred during a ride are then
added on top of this calculated fare, as well as a base fare.
▷I am using this App almost everyday.
That’s so useful because all we have to do is
choosing destination and place where
we are waiting. Then, drivers come and pick us up.
I can’t live in SF and Bay area without this App.

Investors:
Zopa is a P2P money lending service that allows lenders and borrowers
to deal directly with one another, cutting out the banks who act as middlemen.
Zopa works in the following way: the company first categorizes borrower
credit grades with an A*, A, B, C or Y rating; then lenders make offers that
vary by money amount and time period for persons with a certain credit
grade; and borrowers can then agree the aggregate offered rate.
Zopa takes on such responsibilities as distributing money between parties,
completing the legal paperwork, performing borrower identity/credit checks,
and employing a collections agency that chases missed payments for
the lender.Zopa also mitigates risk for lenders by enforcing monthly direct
debit repayment, making borrowers sign a legal contract, and allowing
lenders to lend small chunks of money to individual borrowers.
The company itself makes money by charging a fixed fee for borrowers and
1% annual fee for lenders.

Experience:
▷If you are on side of freelancer, you register it and wait for
a job. If you have your own project, you can hire freelancers
in the service. For example, I registered as having a project
in it. I was requested to register what my project is and
choose freelancers. Also, I registered it to find writers so
the service told me freelancers who are working as
writers.If you set your original condition, you can
choose them easier. Also, the price could be set
by you so you can save your budget.

Experience:
▷If you have the job which is relevant to design, this service can be useful.
For example, you are bothering design of logo.You can use this service.
All you have to is filling in a form what your image and motivation of the project is.
And then, automatically they suggest to you design of logo following your condition.
But freelancers will make that so it’s not immediately. However, if you apply for it
as an express project, it can be faster than usual but undoubtedly you
have to pay additional express cost.

Comment
Thank you for reading so far!
This is a first material that I made in English.
Therefore, there are sometimes complicated or strange expression.
From this experience, I could understand about sharing economy industry.
And also, I had got much information if I haven’t researched them in Japanese
so I feel that to improve English skill will be able to expand opportunities.
Finally, I appreciate you all read it until final.
Thank you,

  • 3. About me Fumiya Miura Living in San Francisco/Bay area in order to learn what Silicon Valley is in firsthand. I am interested in Sharing Economy, Subscription -Services and Blockchain. The purpose of making this material is that I want to get deeply knowledge in this industry and I just want to know what kind of startups are succeeding and existing.Through this material, I learned how to grow sharing economy in the past. Also, learned how to grow the market in the future. I am planning to make material about subscription services as well. I want to establish our company in near the future therefore I am staying in here. Introduction Born on December 20th in 1995. Blog Media →here →here →here(JP) →here →here →here(EN)
  • 4. Purpose 1. To research what sharing economy is and to know there is a potential to grow in the market or not. While I am living in current generation, the opportunity to use p2p services is getting to be increased like UBER, Lyft and Airbnb. From my experience, the services is purely useful and cheaper than others had already existed, which means those services have a potential to allow people’s life more convenience and more comfortable. I just contribute to make people’s lifestyle comfortable. And I believe that market place of sharing economy will be continuously expanded in the future. 2. To know what kind of companies are existing and dead. Although I am using p2p services in my life, there are many companies existing that I just don’t know. To join sharing economy market, I have to know what kind of companies can exist and how growing they are. When I can know those information, I can fight this area.
  • 5. What is “Sharing Economy”? The sharing economy is an economic model often defined as a peer-to-peer (P2P) based activity of acquiring, providing or sharing access to goods and services that are facilitated by a community based on-line platform. Collaborative consumption or the sharing economy refers rather to resource circulation systems which allow a consumer two-sided role, in which consumers may act as both providers of resources or obtainers of resources
  • 6. Why is “Sharing Economy” pervasive? 2. Rampant spread of poverty: These resulted to corresponding increases in unemployment and underemployment.
