Episode notes

The first two questions are more about understanding the lay of the land, and then te question of what prevents competitors from getting to equivalents? That's the power question. Ye, i think a very challenging characteristic of plafforms over all is you don't own your customers. Waxe, maybe first could we finish uber and talk about that third question for uber? Cause that sort of feels like for uber at least, and lift. And so gene said that sort of the power question involved more than just the last one.

We sit down once again with one of the world’s very best strategy thinkers, 7 Powers author Hamilton Helmer — this time joined by his impressive Strategy Capital colleague Chenyi Shi — to discuss platform businesses, and how the Power framework applies to them. If you’re building, investing in, or just curious about the dynamics of platforms, this episode is a must-listen. We owe a huge thanks to Hamilton and Chenyi for sharing their work-in-progress insights on this very special category of companies. Tune in!
