  25. 25. TAKEAWAYS FROM CHAPTER ONE A platform is a nexus of rules and open infrastructure. A platform business enables value- creating interactions between external producers and consumers. It sets governance conditions for healthy interactions to occur. A platform’s overarching purpose: to consummate matches among users and facilitate the exchange of goods, services, or social currency, thereby enabling value creation for all participants. Because platform businesses create value using resources they don’t own or control, they can grow much faster than traditional businesses. Platforms derive much of their value from the communities they serve. The best platforms create strong network effects. Platforms invert companies, blurring business boundaries and transforming firms’ traditional inward focus into an outward focus. The rise of the platform has already transformed many major industries—and more equally important transformations are on the way.
