Episode notes

Fly wheels are a sign of market fit and tell you absolutely nothing about power. It's not easy to get a fly wheel, and that is how these platforms do find life. Anecdotally, we took a fly wheel of a coumtry as really popular, i wont name which one, but we swap that logo with their competitors logo in the meadow of that fly wheel,. And it still works. So this is going to be a new way of thinking for folks.

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!
