Platform Strategy

This is framework-based advice for platform strategy pulled from 24 product leaders who've built marketplaces, ecosystems, and developer platforms. It walks you through understanding network effects, figuring out which side of your platform is harder to acquire, and navigating the four-stage lifecycle from moat-building to monetization. The mental models are solid, like treating internal platforms as products (Camille Fournier) and investing incrementally until you see real signals (Alex Komoroske). Use it when you're deciding whether to open your API, designing governance rules, or trying to figure out if you're building features when you should be building systems. The questions it asks are more useful than the answers it gives.
