Founder
Rentalic.com
Prior to Rentalic, Punsri spent the first decade of his career in software, operations, and management with familiar names such as LinkedIn, PayPal, Oracle, InstallShield and Zynga. This, along with honors from University of Wisconsin, gave Punsri what Hacker.com called "business and technical chops and social networking credentials" while dubbing Rentalic "the most promising" player among emerging peer-to-peer sharing platforms. Punsri built a team of Silicon Valley professionals, developed a patent-pending verification technology, launched the Rentalic.com site across the U.S., and quickly catalyzed the access-over-ownership cultural shift. He has since been fielding interviews from dozens of technology, business, and mainstream media while garnering awards from PayPal X Innovate,and even MakerFaire, and making calculated improvements to Rentalic. Recognized as an authority in the emerging sharing trend, Punsri has spoken on numerous panels and serves as an advisor to Sharable.net. Rentalic began with a backyard project. Needing to haul some dirt, Punsri hesitated to repeatedly ask neighbors to borrow a wheelbarrow. Knowing this to be a common dilemma in a consumer society, he thought of peer-to-peer renting as a solution. With some security measures and a little bit of compensation, suddenly the idea of borrowing tools doesn't feel like sponging off a neighbor. In fact it's a fun way to save money and reduce consumption! * More Information About Punsri: htp://www.linkedin.com/in/punsri * More information About Rentalic: htp://www.rentalic.com/about
