Are those new "concepts"? Uber for your house seems all. Effectively every single business in the gig economy has been rehashing the same concept trying to commodify every aspect of the human experience by inserting a platform as an alternative to a regulated market (or no market at all).



Yeah definitely. There was no way you could rent out your house before Airbnb.

Uber for X is a new concept if nobody has done it before. Sure you can say it's obvious but most business ideas are, especially in hindsight. The idea is the easy part.
