A platform enables the exchange of value between two sets of users, usually producers of value and consumers of value.

A platform, by definition, creates value by facilitating an exchange between two or more interdependent groups. So, rather that making things, they simply connect people.

Uber, Airbnb, Snapchat, Facebook, Tinder, App Store, and Lending Club are all platforms, a new business model that has quietly become the only game in town, creating vast fortunes for its founders while dominating everyone's daily life.

Our quarterly Los Angeles Platform Innovation Meetup explore the role of data in these platforms with perspectives from executives, product & engineering and data scientists.

Agenda:

6-7 pm: Networking with beer & pizza

7-7:30: Fireside chat between Factual CEO Gil Elbaz and Applico CEO Alex Moazed

7:30-8: Panel discussion featuring perspectives from August Trometer (CTO, Homehero) and Dan Gould (VP Tech, Tinder)

8-8:30: Drinks & networking
