If you haven't heard of Rentcycle yet, it's a simple platform connecting consumers with small rental businesses to make renting online as easy as shopping online. We see Rentcycle as a game-changer for the rental industry, and by changing that game, it could be a game changer for the entire way we think about shopping and ownership. Here's why we invested in Rentcycle: the mission, the team, and the founder. Rentcycle promotes sustainable commerce and reuse by making it easier for people to gain access to the experiences they want, without the burdens of ownership. If anyone's going to disrupt this industry, it's going to be this all-star team at Rentcycle whose passion for the business is only rivaled by an undying determination to be the ones to make it happen. It also doesn't hurt that they have Marc Randolph (cofounder of Netflix) and Chuck Templeton (founder of OpenTable) supporting them.In keeping with the times, this edition of the RSA Journal includes a range of articles addressing some of the darker sides of life, including cruelty, mental health, crime and addiction.
