The Next 10 Years Will Be About “Market-Networks" [**Note: a shorter version of this article appeared on TechCrunch.] [**Disclosure: we are advisors and/or investors in many of the companies mentioned in this post including Honeybook, Houzz, Lyft, Angelist, Poshmark, Doordash, Patreon and Goodreads] Most people didn’t notice when a 35-person company in San Francisco called HoneyBook announced a $22 million Series B in March 2015. What was unusual about the deal is that nearly all the best-known Silicon Valley VCs competed for it. That’s because HoneyBook is a prime example of an important new category of digital company that combines the best elements of networks like Facebook with marketplaces like Airbnb — what we call a market network.
Market networks will produce a new class of unicorn companies and impact how millions of service professionals will work and earn their living. Marketplaces provide transactions among multiple buyers and multiple sellers — like Poshmark, eBay, Uber, Patreon, and LendingClub. Houzz is a third good example.

How do I Create General Public Benefit? - Benefit Corporation. Benefit corporations are required to have a purpose of creating “general public benefit”. This differs from traditional corporations, which are allowed to form for any lawful purpose but have no explicit public benefit purpose requirement. General public benefit is defined as a “material positive impact on society and the environment, taken as a whole, as assessed against a third-party standard, from the business and operations of a benefit corporation.”
The Model Legislation explicitly states that “[t]he creation of a general public benefit . . . is in the best interests of the benefit corporation.” This serves to protect against the presumption that the financial interests of the corporation take precedence over the general public benefit purpose, which maximizes the benefit corporation’s flexibility in corporate decision-making. Interpreting “Material Positive Impact” Government has no role in interpreting 'material positive impact". Other related issues: General vs. Flexibility.
