Learn the play-by-play system to use existing networks to jumpstart supply growth and solve the “cold start” problem
I call these Network Plays (Where can we currently find our target supply?)
The concept here is that you grow on top of a pre-existing network.
For example, early on:
→ Airbnb grew on top of Craigslist.
→ PayPal grew on top of eBay.
Find the places people currently hang out or find what you are offering.
Then determine if you can “cherry-pick” from that network.
If you do this right, you can convince their existing demand/supply to switch.
Who this playbook is for:
- Startup founders and operators
- People leaders scaling startup teams
- Employees at growing startups
You'll learn:
✔️ How to build your supply when there is no demand (and vice versa)
