Shareable is an award-winning nonprofit news, action and connection hub for the sharing transformation.
What's the sharing transformation? It's a movement of movements emerging from the grassroots up to solve today's biggest challenges, which old, top-down institutions are failing to address.
Behind these failing industrial-age institutions are outmoded beliefs about how the world works – that ordinary people can't govern themselves directly; that nonstop economic growth leads to widespread prosperity; and that more stuff leads to more happiness. |

Mechanical Turk
https://www.MTurk.com/mturk/
 |
The Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is a crowdsourcing Internet marketplace that enables individuals and businesses (known as Requesters) to coordinate the use of human intelligence to perform tasks that computers are currently unable to do. It is one of the sites of Amazon Web Services. The Requesters are able to post tasks known as HITs (Human Intelligence Tasks), such as choosing the best among several photographs of a storefront, writing product descriptions, or identifying performers on music CDs. Workers (called Providers in Mechanical Turk's Terms of Service, or, more colloquially, Turkers) can then browse among existing tasks and complete them for a monetary payment set by the Requester. |

Sharetribe
https://Sharetribe.com/

Powering the collaborative economy. A growing part of our economy is powered by online marketplace technology that helps individuals and small organizations to effectively sell or rent products, services and spaces to each other.
Marketplaces are everywhere.
It might be makers selling their creations on Etsy or Tindie, individuals renting out their properties on Airbnb or Getaround, or service providers pooling their resources together on Uber, Fiverr or Homejoy.
Creating an online marketplace used to be
an expensive and time-consuming task.
You'd have to hire developers, who would spend months coding before you got the first version of your site out. Building things like payment systems, geolocation and messaging can be rather complicated.
Thanks to Sharetribe, this is no longer the case. Our technology makes it easy for anyone to create their own marketplace website without any programming knowledge. The setup only takes a few minutes, and the cost is a fraction of what a developer would charge. Sharetribe works all over the world, in multiple languages and currencies. We want to make online marketplace technology accessible and affordable to anyone. |

In 2014, we launched a store to sell Certified pre-owned devices, giving consumers a great alternative to buying new smart devices.
Today, Gazelle is the nation's leading consumer electronics tradein site and a leading e-commerce site where you can buy Certified pre-owned devices. We've handled more than 2 million consumer devices and paid out more than $200 million for items people no longer needed.

Together, we make a great team.
Urban Garden Share pairs together eager gardeners with eager gardens. When neighbors come together and co-operatively grow food, dirt flies and good things happen.

People who wish to profit from their cars while they're not being used can register the cars online to be borrowed by other RelayRides members.
To make the car available, a car owner that has signed up for RelayRides signs onto the network and states the time and place where the car will be available. A member who wishes to borrow a car will reserve a specific time slot for the car online, and pays for the amount of time they signed up for. |

BookRenter
https://BookRenter.com/
 |
Like most students, BookRenter founder Colin Barceloux was frustrated with the high cost of textbooks, paying over $500 each quarter while at Santa Clara University. To help pay for textbooks (and other necessities like beer, food, and clothes), he worked as a campus mailman, and noticed a large number of discarded textbooks around campus. There were even huge stacks of books on the bookstore's "Zero Value Table," containing books that the bookstore wouldn't buy back. To Colin, something seemed wrong with the fact that a book's value could drop from $100 to $0 in a few months.
He started to collect all these unwanted books, and sold them online to students around the country. He realized that the practice of buying a book, using it, and selling it is really just a textbook rental, and the idea behind the company was born. After working at a few other companies, Colin teamed up with two Santa Clara engineers Chris Williams and Philippe Huibonhoa to start BookRenter. |

Sparkbox Toys
https://sparkboxtoys.com/

For a monthly fee, you receive a box of toys shipped directly to your home…and when you're done, you simply return them with free shipping.
The most rapid physical, emotional and mental growth takes place during a child's first 5 years of life. At each stage of this development period a child needs different kinds of stimulation. SPARKBOX's variety and expert team ensure access to different kinds of toys and different play strategies.
Research on the benefits of play is universal. It is the very fuel children use to explore the world, develop their mind, relate to others, solve problems, acquire skills and gain confidence in themselves.
Play is essential to development because it contributes to the cognitive, physical, social, and emotional well-being of children. Through play, a child's learning, development, exploration and creativity multiply exponentially. We believe, the essence of a happy childhood is every child's natural drive to discover the world through play. |
