CEO，當日派送服務Instacart

公司業務：在線食品雜貨訂購和當日派送

最佳：我們所在的市場受到高度監管。我們的核心業務是眾包，如果你關注房屋租賃網站Airbnb、打車軟件Uber、共享乘租服務Lyft和拼車服務商Sidecar等，你會發現他們面臨著很多監管難題，很難為產品找到市場空間。而他們一次次成功打入一座座城市，這讓我們看到了希望。這個行業肯定會有更好的前景。

最差：相反，這些公司也在許多城市遭遇了失敗。他們還要面臨許多法律訴訟和各地的禁令。在目前狀況下，許多初創公司，還有他們所進行的大量創新，都不得不去挑戰傳統規則。

CEO, Instacart

The company's 411: Online grocery orders and same-day delivery.

Best: We're in a very highly regulated market, if you can imagine. We're focusing on crowdsourcing, which if you follow Airbnb, Uber, Lyft, and Sidecar, they've had so much trouble working against the regulations to find a niche for their products. Seeing them succeed time after time, city after city was very promising. There's definitely more hope for this industry.

Worst: Conversely, there were also cities where some of those companies were not very successful. There were some lawsuits they had to face and several cease and desists as well. At this point in time, a lot of the companies that are started, a lot of the innovation that's done, has to go against the conventional regulations out there.
