Finn.no let employees start competing businesses against a piece of cake if they succeed.
Sharing Economy is a broad and also criticized term.
one of the definitions of sharing economy is platform systems that allow individuals make use of unused resources by sharing / selling them.
A resource can be anything from time and knowledge to a bed or a drill.
the term captures still not up the distinction between commercial and non-profit motivated services. This distinction can be exemplified in the difference between an app that lets people run with each other to work, and Uber, which is a commercial taxi-like service.
One can alternatively talk about a mediation economy and a sharing economy, where the first term is broader, while sharing economy only embraces what is actually sharing and not rent or sale.

Oslo: As of now, Finns innovation incubator “Sandbox” four active contracts. Plendit.no is according to CEO Finn.no, Sondre Gravir (38) one of those who have made the most progress.
– The idea here is to provide initial assistance to employees who have an entrepreneurial dream. If the concept of success and hit the user need, we get back the ability to buy into, say Gravir.
Although he will not make any claims, but believes the company must get converted traffic to actual leases.
– I guess I’m not objective, but I think this is very exciting.
Last year was network service Pelp.no started by Finn peaks Tine Reuterdahl (45), Eyvind Larre (43) and Erlend Schei (44). This company did not go through the “Sandbox” but was fully funded by Finn. Pelp.no had to close down before Christmas, eighteen months after the start.
– We had good momentum and growth when we gave us and they had a frame with more time. Find gave us a convertible loan and we started for ourselves without an idea, but with money. Ideally you start out enough with the idea, says former CEO Pelpa, Tine Reuterdahl.
Sondre Gravir believes Pelpa-the trouble is “like that happens.”
– Behind every successful concept there are many experiments that have not worked, but provides plenty learning. One must try many different things, and some hit, says Gravir.
Oslo: the competitors want Plendit.no welcome.
– We are well aware of them. We think it’s great competition and wants more players in sharing economy welcome. It comes just consumers, says CEO Christer Hansen Eriksen (25) in Leieting.no.
