Theres a book called Platform Revolution that focuses on this business model. Highly recommended

VCs will typically be looking at 10/20/30x their investment and will be stringent in you sticking to a well defined plan.
The 40k you have spent should go someway to proving your concept. I think angel investors are your first point of call to raise $300-500k seed money and then once you've proven your platform has retention and value, then go for VCs.

A few books I highly recommend:
Eric Ries - The Lean Startup

Sangeet Choudary - Platform Revolution

Read these asap if you haven't already - it's all about lean production of value and minimal waste, which is what /u/duli-chan is getting at.

I have no idea if there is a point to any of this or why you are posting it, but this idea has been around for years. If you've just had this epiphany then you are way behind the game.

Uber is Uber because of what it is. A platform to sell rides. A two sided marketplace for anything else is not a two sided platform to sell rides. Uber and Air BnB work because of their simplicity, and the vast pool of both suppliers and consumers. Each of these became prominent because they were in the right place at the right time and got the marketing right.

Check out the book platform revolution.
