The Platform Economy with Fexingo: Marketplaces, Networks, and Multi-Sided Businesses

Lucas and Luna explore the architecture of multi-sided platforms—the marketplaces, networks, and digital ecosystems that reshape industries. Each episode dissects a single platform business, from its fee structures and network effects to the competitive moats and regulatory pressures that define its trajectory. Lucas brings the numbers: take rates, liquidity ratios, contribution margins. Luna pushes on the human and strategic trade-offs: why a marketplace chooses to subsidize one side, how a network solves the cold-start problem, when a platform risks tipping into a monopoly. They draw on real cases—Uber's surge pricing, Airbnb's host guarantee, Etsy's niche positioning—to ground every abstraction in a named company and a measurable outcome. This show is for operators, investors, and strategists who need to understand why some platforms win while others vanish. No hot takes, no hype—just the mechanics of matching supply with demand at scale. What happens when the marketplace becomes the market?
