In case you missed South by Southwest last week, we’re working to bring the best sustainability thinking from the conference to you this week via some thought-leader video interviews conducted on the ground in Austin. View them all here.
In keeping with our quest to find “Access Economy” startups at SXSW, I was thrilled to have a few minutes to sit down with Jessica Scorpio, the founder of Getaround.com, a company which makes it possible for car owners to make extra money renting out their cars to their neighbors.
