EquipmentShare joins the YC W15 batch:
“In today’s world it seems there are fewer and fewer industries exist where there isn’t some sort of peer-to-peer model emerging for access to the goods needed to get a job done. Every segment is creating its own “Airbnb for X,” which you can attribute to a growing acceptance that as we all become connected, there’s little reason for each of us to own all the same stuff when we could just borrow what we need from a neighbor.
Apparently that theory even holds true for the construction industry, where a little startup called EquipmentShare is making it easier for construction crews to rent equipment they don’t own from other contractors, while also allowing them to make money off their own idle gear.”
