Reducing risk is a huge lever scaling startups can use to their advantage. 

This was a big theme in my conversation with Match.com co-founder, and current CEO of BabyQuip, Fran Maier.

BabyQuip is the world’s largest baby gear rental marketplace, empowering thousands of independent contractors around the country to build successful side hustles, while helping families travel more easily. In today’s case study, Fran details how they were able to grow their network of these independent contractors (AKA Quality Providers) by 60% in one year by alleviating as much risk as possible for their providers. 

From streamlined tech infrastructure, to added insurance coverage, to offering trainings and negotiating discounts with partners on their behalf, Fran has made it a no brainer for motivated mothers to partner with BabyQuip in this gig economy business model. 

Keep listening to get creative ideas on how to prioritize lowering risk in your own business to drive growth!
