It all started last September. Ivan and Roro were Couchsurfing in Chile and Uganda while Mathieu had just rented a place in Amsterdam with Airbnb. That’s when it all hit us! It was all so wonderfully weird: so authentic, so homey, whilst so far from home.

We liked it! We liked it so much in fact that we decided to dig a little deeper. A few meetings, readings and conferences later we discovered that these were but two of a far greater movement: the collaborative economy.

We were struck by the great energy across the collaborative space, struck by all these new ideas and alternative ways of doing things, but one particular thing caught our attention: the People behind the Economy. 

For us, the collaborative economy was really about Sacdrac (the Chilean), Conrad (the Ugandan) and Sterre (the Dutch) – those who had welcomed us strangers into their homes. We started wondering about all those stories behind the actors that drive the collaborative space – Who are they? Are they idealists? Champaign socialists? Pragmatics? Hipsters? A little stingier than the others? What drives them? Who and what fuels all that sharing?

We decided to go and meet them. Hear their stories. With you, we want to uncover the 1001 faces behind the collaborative economy!
