2-Sided E-commerce Marketplace Case Studies Sramana Mitra

The 1Mby1M Methodology is based on case studies. In each course, Sramana Mitra shares the tribal knowledge of tech entrepreneurs by giving students the rare seat at the table with the entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders who provide the most instructive perspectives on how to build a thriving business. Through these conversations, students gain access to case studies exploring the alleys of entrepreneurship.

Sramana's synthesis of key learnings and incisive analysis add great depth to each discussion. Two-sided marketplaces are becoming increasingly popular in the e-commerce startup world. eBay and Etsy are some of the most obvious examples of two-sided marketplaces, but now we are seeing a lot of niche and esoteric marketplaces as well all over the world.

So what does it take to be successful in this kind of business. This Udemy course gives you a real-world example of a successful two-sided marketplace, as well as a step-by-step breakdown on how it was built. You will be able to see that all the 1Mby1M methodology building blocks fundamentals were applied and that's an important point to remember.

You can, for instance, bootstrap a two-sided marketplace as a solo entrepreneur, with a paycheck, then raise money (or not). You can build a Unicorn (or not). Though we love bootstrapping, we never rule out funding.
