This Startup Lets You Buy A Cow With Strangers On The Internet

Introducing the newest member of the sharing economy: cow-sharing startup Crowd Cow.

A Seattle-based startup has made it possible for you to buy a cow with strangers on the Internet. Here's how it works: You would go on the crowdfunding platform to watch an informational video about a cattle ranch and learn how a cow was raised. Then, you select the cuts you would like to buy. The various cuts are called “shares,” making you a “steakholder” in the individual cow.

Once all of the shares are purchased, the cow “tips,” and the beef is shipped directly to your home. If the cow is not fully sold, your credit card will not be charged.
