Marketplace Model

What is Marketplace Model?

A marketplace model is a business structure that connects buyers and sellers on a single platform. The platform provider typically facilitates the transaction and takes a commission or fee for each successful exchange.

Why It Matters

• It allows for rapid scaling without the need for the platform provider to own any inventory.

• Marketplaces benefit from strong network effects, where the platform becomes more valuable as more participants join.

• It provides a centralized location for discovery and trust in fragmented or inefficient markets.
