Rezensionen

"Stephany uses the book's canvas to paint a multi-dimensional picture of the sharing economy. What makes this book come alive is his brilliant recounting of entrepreneurial journeys of several sharing economy startups, including his own. ... The book is an insider's exhilarating perspective on what is arguably the biggest economic trend shaking up corporate boardrooms and the seats of government today." (Siddharth Puri, BW Businessworld, businessworld.in, July, 2016)
