Tech founders often build products like pipelines when they should be building platforms.

Platform businesses like Spotify and Amazon don't just outperform traditional companies; they completely transform markets through network effects, outsourced operations, and optimized connections. While pipeline businesses own expensive infrastructure, platforms leverage user networks to scale exponentially at lower costs.

The three-step platform design framework from Platform Revolution shows exactly how to craft your central purpose, choose participants strategically, and monetize without destroying network value. Companies using this approach see faster growth because they harness network effects where each new user increases platform value for everyone else. Successful platforms don't compete by stealing customers. They collaborate with stakeholders to create value ecosystems that traditional competitors can't match.

Your technical product needs platform thinking to reach enterprise scale. The strategic administration system and tailored performance measurements outlined here help you avoid the market failures that kill 90% of new platforms.
