Ultimate List of Australian Gig & Sharing Economy Sites

Complete list of companies, below.

Ever met someone who was working on an app that was described as “like Uber, but for whatever”? You might find their app here. If you’re working on your own app that’s like Uber, but for something else, you may want to get in touch with The Sharing Hub, which is an accelerator for these types of startups.

Otherwise, if you’re just looking for opportunities to make money off Uber alternatives, Airbnb alternatives and the like… You’ve come to the right place.

What is the sharing economy / gig economy?

If you’ve heard about this gig economy stuff but don’t know what it is… It’s quite simple. There are two parts for something to be a part of the sharing or gig economy:

1. An online platform that connects the buyer with a seller or service provider
2. The seller or service provider isn’t an employee of the platform, they just use the platform to connect with the buyers

WANT TO BE YOUR OWN BOSS?

You’ve come to the right place. Here’s is a list of all the Australian (and international companies available to Aussies) peer-to-peer/sharing/gig economy apps and websites we could find. There is a tonne of options for you to become a serial gigapreneur. It’s like being a serial entrepreneur… Only 3.0.
