About this newsletter
This newsletter explores the impact of technology on competition.
Who wins? And who loses? And what are the factors determining winners and separating them from the losers?
Towards this, I explore the following themes through this newsletter:
The economics of platforms and ecosystems
The economics of Generative AI
Growing market and power concentration of BigTech
Reimagining the internet with alternate power structures
Value migration from incumbents to challengers (or not) when new technological shifts play out
About my work
To learn more about my work, visit www.platformthinkinglabs.com or have a look at my Wikipedia profile.
I’ve worked at explaining the platform economy over the past decade and more.
My work includes two best-selling books - Platform Revolution and Platform Scale - as well as many influential articles on this topic.
Since 2012, I’ve worked on advising stakeholders across the platform economy.
These have included:
Advising 40+ Fortune 500 firms on platform strategy, ecosystem mapping, building competitive advantage with AI etc.
Advising the BigTech on managing lateral attacks from non-competitors and on entering entirely new industries leveraging current control points.
Advising companies looking to raise PE and VC (Series B or later) on expanding their TAM through an ecosystem play.
Informing regulators on mapping out a theory of harm from the BigTech.
