It Will NEVER Work - Zipcar Shows Detroit A Thing Or Two About Cars and People

It Will NEVER Work - Zipcar Shows Detroit A Thing Or Two About Cars and People | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
"It's an awful idea. I don't think it'll work," says Greg Mound, vice president of Americar Auto Rental Inc., a Somerville, Mass., rental company with 100 cars. Mr.
Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

Lisa Gansky the author of The Mesh got me to fall in love with the Zipcar idea. Lisa's book is a bible for startups because it preaches how to use OPP (Other People's Platforms) to mash seeming dissonant ideas together to create a new idea, to create excitement and fill a market need no one even knew was there.

If that last sentence got your entrepreneurial spirit hopping then read this post about how Zipcars proved a thing or two by meshing it.
