Welcome and About the Program
Welcome to our 4-Week Live Masterclass Program – Part I. Here you will learn the required skills & methods to launch and scale your platform business / venture first hand from proven international experts and leading platform founders.
Today’s business disruption is led by platforms in B2C and B2B industries. Most companies are struggling to skill-up their employees to build and scale a platform business. We therefore created this 2 parts program.
This is the first worldwide program focusing not only on platform strategy, but on real platform venture building. Run by entrepreneurs and founders to give you real-world insights about what works.
The methods you will learn are based on the Platform Innovation Kit, the most-advanced toolset for Platform venture building worldwide – used and adopted by S&P 500 companies, startups and business schools across the globe. (www.platforminnovationkit.com).
Additionally this is a certification program, where you can earn an official “Platform Innovation” certificate.
Part 1: Explore & Launch a platform
Part 2: Scale a platform and unlock network effects (click here to check part 2)
You can attend both classes or only the one you think is best for your current situation.
This program is run by serial platform entrepreneurs and based on our 20+ year experience on building and scaling platform businesses worldwide – B2C and B2B. We worked with over 150 international startups and corporates in the last 7 years to successfully launch and scale platform businesses. Now is the time to skill-up teams worldwide.
Additionally, we will host 3 mastermind sessions with platform founders of B2C & B2B platforms: this will be an opportunity for you to ask them questions live.
This program is aimed at platform teams & professionals in any industry, who are looking to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform venture creation process and acquire the right skills to execute.
