Episode notes

Cheny: Platforms often involve different types of power. They're very complicated and idiosyncratic. You can look at one and it's hard to tell whether they have power or not. Cheny: If we come up with a framework to understand platforms, they shall work as well for uber rban b of to day as they should work for the match makers three thousand years ago.

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!
