Flavio Mansi, Part 1: Disrupting the Mobile Phone Industry, with Blockchain

Published: Nov. 18, 2019, 5:30 a.m.

Flavio’s vision is a peer-to-peer open platform for buying and selling used mobile phones – of which there are millions around the globe.  Flavio shares his take on the mobile phone industry, including existing inefficiencies in how used phones are graded, priced, sold, and delivered to the next owner, all of which he’s hoping to disrupt with blockchain technology.  His plan is to use blockchain to fix informational asymmetries, reduce transaction costs, and promote pricing efficiencies.  Flavio’s ultimate goal is for a platform that fosters a marketplace that is open to everyone and not limited to mobile phones.
