[TriLUG] Project

[Hariharan Gopalan via TriLUG]

Here are more details:

uberize.me is a platform that aims to create a digital platform that
enables individuals to monetize their talents, skills, or assets in a safe
and efficient manner. By fostering a thriving community, the platform will
facilitate knowledge sharing, networking, and collective influence on
societal matters. Additionally, the platform will leverage its large user
base to negotiate group discounts and exclusive deals, maximizing financial
benefits for members. Through a secure and user-friendly ecosystem,
individuals can showcase their offerings, collaborate, and engage in
economic empowerment while enhancing their social impact.

Uber and Lyft have a combined revenue of $15 Billion. This is just in the
space of cab rental. Potential for uberize.me could be several folds higher
considering the vast scope of utility in all activities.

Of course, this is also hugely complex, but the elephant can be eaten one
bite at a time :)

There is an even more fundamental idea behind this project which I can
share for anyone interested.

Thanks
Hari
