A Crowded Space, A Critical, but Ignored Metric for Marketplaces

http://acrowdedspace.com/post/47647912203/a-critical-but-ignored-metric-for-marketplaces

My name is Josh Breinlinger. I'm a VC at Jackson Square Ventures. And was early at oDesk. A Critical, but Ignored Metric for Marketplaces. That metric is the. Number of full timers. What sounds better to the press and investors? 100,000 experts or 100 full-time experts. I’ll take the 100 full-timers, but I think most others would go for the big numbers. Take a look at successful marketplaces:. EBay has power sellers. Etsy has the 10k club. For sellers that have sold over 10k items. When I was in consulti...

The Naked Innovator

http://thenakedinnovator.tumblr.com/tagged/middle-class

April 16, 2015. Are Loyalty Programs Loyal to Income Disparity? After attending a recent conference on E-Commerce, with its talk of discounts to debit card users and Amazon Prime, I wondered how we ended up with so many consumer benefit programs that reward people with cash on hand, instead of people who can’t afford the extra upfront cost but who desperately need the savings. If everyone knows massive income inequality is bad, what models can we put in place to fix the problem? The personal blog of Emil...

mirchi.fm, Thoughts on an Apple Streaming Strategy

http://www.mirchi.fm/post/32170381821/thoughts-on-an-apple-streaming-strategy

Thoughts on an Apple Streaming Strategy. The music industry has committed itself largely to a future based on subscription services. Given Apple’s role in the music business, having already once reinvented the economics of the industry and become it’s largest revenue source, how and when they choose to enter the streaming business will have a significant impact. While there’s been talk of an Apple subscription service for a while now, the more recent chatter. Given Apple’s ability to control distri...

Pandora’s Mobile Challenge. While mobile usage has driven the bulk of Pandora’s listener growth over the lat 2 years, it’s driven very little revenue to date. The revenue growth has come from Pandora ramping up its online display advertising. While this revenue growth is a clearly a good trend, Pandora needs to demonstrate it can turn a profit on its mobile platform. If Pandora can do this, they have a large market in front of them. They are just starting to enter the automotive market, which could b...

Music Discovery: Crate-diggers vs Radio Listeners. It’s no secret that a majority of music consumption falls into the passive category. As Pandora has pointed out, 85% of music consumption in the US is radio listening ( http:/ bit.ly/cItRIn. There’s still a significant community of passive music consumers that aren’t discovering new music, which represents an opportunity for those services which address this need.

mirchi.fm, The Opportunity of Streaming Services for Artists

http://www.mirchi.fm/post/37638795735/the-opportunity-of-streaming-services-for-artists

The Opportunity of Streaming Services for Artists. There has been a lot of debate over streaming services and the royalty rates they pay. Critics point to royalties from services like Spotify, where it takes two hundred streams to earn the equivalent of one download. As evidence that these services don’t provide a viable income for artists. Damon Krukowski of Galaxie 500. I would argue that, rather than undermining artists’ income, streaming services will offer a platform of unprecedented scale to ...

Dave Matthews Band, Live Nation and the Concert Business. Dave Matthews Band was the top grossing touring act of the last decade, with $500 million in gross ticket sales and 11 million tickets sold. Instead of touring as usual this year, DMB is playing four 3-day, multi-artist festivals. While an increasing # of artists have been putting on their own festivals, it’s notable given that DMB is such a big draw on the road. So what does this have to do with Live Nation? Of the 4 venues, only the Gorge is a L...

Turntable.fm: Huge Opportunity Calls for A Licensing Fix. In its first month, Turntable.fm has generated a tremendous amount of buzz. It’s the first truly social web music service; it’s addicting. Viral, and easy to use. This weekend the service hit its first hiccup as it closed the service to users outside the US. This led to disappointed international users. In an industry with dozens of music services that have struggled to scale, the company has already demonstrated strong product / market fit. And t...
