GUEST: “Start as you mean to go on.” It’s an adage long applied to life and work’s most critical habits. Whether sleep-training an infant, getting into shape, or keeping up with the breakneck pace of a tech startup, the tactic holds. Commit to doing it right from the start, because it’s hard, if not impossible, to […]... →

The problem is that even new meters that let you pay by phone or credit are such a hassle that people don’t use them and hope they don’t get caught. But Y Combinator startup Meter Feeder has built a way to pay for parking that easier for citizens, cheaper for cities, and works with… Read More... →

Managed by Q, an office cleaning and management startup, announced today that starting July 1 — and over the next 5 years — it will set aside 5 percent of the company for its on-demand employees. It’s not unusual for startups to offer their employees equity, but on-demand companies like Uber, Lyft, and Postmates typically […]... →

1. Одна из причин, почему это может быть популярно – будет дешевле для заемщика. А почему оно будет дешевле? Убрав поправку на оверхеды банков и на политику резервирования ЦБ, можно сказать, что существенное, стабильное и долгосрочное уменьшение процентов по кредитам возможно только за счет принципиального увеличения количество возвращаемости кредитов в срок. Практически ни у кого из сервисов p2p-кредитования я не видел заявленных инструментов, повышающих процент возвратов, а уж тем более доказанных гипотез... →
