CEO Joe LeBlanc describes technology startup Gasology's motor fuels marketplace as the Travelocity of fuel purchasing, or Uber Eats of fuel delivery. Those analogies are helpful, but don't fully capture the platform's expansive position. To compare to Gasology's comprehensive connectivity within the fuel marketplace more closely, Travelocity would need to include, and empower, competing travel agencies, aircraft manufacturers and their suppliers, hotel construction firms, car dealerships, airport shuttles services and parking lots, drivers-and the list goes on. "The story's hard to tell," LeBlanc conceded. "We encompass the entire marketplace for motor fuel, so we go from the people who make it, to the people who use it, and we're not accustomed to that scope of participation. So we often have difficulty explaining the platform's depth and breadth, because no one conceived it before." |
