This document discusses the rise of collaborative platforms and sharing economies. It notes that in 2007, coworking was a new concept, and platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Bitcoin, Android, and Alibaba were just starting out or didn't exist. It describes how companies like Airbnb, Uber, Netflix, and Facebook have become leaders in their industries while owning few tangible assets. The future of work is presented as decentralized, with individuals monetizing skills and data through digital platforms. Coworking spaces are framed as enabling connections and opportunities rather than just providing real estate.
