Episode notes

When and how is the right time for a company that finds themselves with a large power opportunity as a platform to start capturing that value? The key thing here is to remember that the product market fit and power questions are different questions, and one doesn't necessarily answer the other. And that it may be that when you have a business model that gets you to product market fit, there may be a power opportunity embedded in that, and there may not be.

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!
