Many companies that defined the last decade are marketplaces, from Airbnb to Uber to DoorDash.
But the model is still evolving and growing. And that's why @a16z's Marketplace 100 is back and better than ever!
12000 companies were assessed. Less than 1% made it into the top 100.
Consumer Edge retweeted
First of all, a huge congrats to our top 10. 🥳
@Instacart holds the #1 spot for the third straight year, joined by returners @valvesoftware, @SeatGeek, @viagogo, @turo, @stockx & @goatapp.
Top 10 newcomers include @Whatnot, @EvolveVR, and @RockAuto_Parts.

In a volatile year for the financial markets, only four companies exited via IPO, SPAC or acquisition, compared to 19 last year.
But - 34 companies made their Marketplace 100 debuts!
This freshman class grew 1.7x faster, on average, than incumbent companies 💪
Consumer Edge retweeted
Among the newcomers, one category reigned supreme - Shopping.
E-comm penetration may have returned to the pre-COVID trendline, but consumers are flocking to entertaining + personalized platforms.
SSENSE, a fashion marketplace for luxury & independent brands, debuted at #11!
Consumer Edge retweeted
Another top category for freshmen was more surprising.
Three car parts marketplaces (@RockAuto_Parts, @partsgeek, @CARiD_com) debuted in the top 30 - and all are bootstrapped.
What drove this? Inflation in new and used car prices made consumers repair versus replace.
Consumer Edge retweeted
Looking at GMV growth - the largest YoY increase came from the Mental Health category.
Four companies drove this, all match consumers with in-network providers - @try_headway, @SonderMind, @withalma_, Path Mental Health.
This seems to be a lasting result of COVID lockdowns 👇
Consumer Edge retweeted
A more transitory post-COVID growth story? Ticketing.
We saw massive GMV growth in this category in '21 and '22, as postponed events finally made it on to the stage.
However, we've already started to see a slowdown that even the Eras tour may not be able to stop...
Consumer Edge retweeted
Aside from annual trends, the Marketplace 100 also sheds light on deeper evolutions.
We're now tracking the rise of the curated marketplace, where only the best supply can list.
Getting the flywheel going can be tough here - but once you do, consumers can shop with confidence!
