One of the barriers bringing your online platform / marketplace idea to life is the investment in software and development. Sharetribe removes this barrier. With their (open source) software non-tech people kan built their own online marketplace in a couple of minutes. After a trial period of 30 days you only pay for the hosting. Since the software is open source entrepreneurs can also built their own tools on top of the platform. Check this interview with Sharetribe co-founder Juho Makkonen.
