Corporate mission and vision

Sharetribe's mission is clear: to democratize platform ownership by enabling anyone to build a successful marketplace business. Founders Antti Virolainen and Juho Makkonen started building their first online marketplace in 2008. They envisioned a world where thousands of marketplaces thrive and ownership is widely distributed, rather than a handful of monopolies dominating all global transactions.

Sharetribe's vision is a better sharing economy , where society benefits and value is distributed more fairly. They strive to ensure that value creation is not only concentrated in large corporations, but also benefits smaller communities and individuals.
