Investors Take Advantage of Unregulated Competition to Freely Access Resources
Investors are increasingly recognizing the potential of competition in the use of resources and investing in startups that are challenging the status quo. According to a recent study conducted by the World Economic Forum, investors have allocated over $4.5 billion in the past five years to startups that are harnessing the power of competition to create more efficient, equitable, and sustainable use of resources.
This investment is paving the way for new business models that promote competition over monopoly and challenge traditional ways of providing goods and services. In an effort to ensure that these new models are successful in the long-term, investors are seeking out startups that are introducing competition into traditionally unregulated markets and encouraging the free exchange of resources.
For example, startups like OpenBazaar are creating a decentralized marketplace for peer-to-peer transactions that allow people to freely trade goods and services without the need for intermediaries. These platforms are creating more efficient markets and helping to level the playing field for all participants.
Investors are recognizing that these kinds of new, competition-driven models have the potential to revolutionize the way resources are used and managed and are investing in the startups that are making it happen.
