I've been reading an advance copy for a week or two now and so far this is up there on my list of goto books on platforms. A more in-depth review is forthcoming.
(I'm building out a Platform Theory Collection on PH if anyone's interested.)
Spoke tonight at a university startup program - used the new platform canvas framework. I added a layer under the tools area for Data with two boxes: Data Management and Data Stored Value
Thanks to this book, I have a much better understanding of how platforms scale well.
Without it I would not have guessed it in my wildest dreams. I would need to research many platforms, like Sangeet did. Would take me years. Now I read about it in a few days.
To be honest, I would need to read it again so I can may attention to several aspects in details.
Great read, would recommend it to anyone, not only platform managers. This book also explains why you should switch from traditional pipe business to platform and how.
