Bulletproof Your Marketplace : Strategies for Protecting Your Digital Platform

A bad incident or frivolous lawsuit—even if you’re ultimately exonerated—can result in the kind of exorbitant legal fees and devastating publicity that destroys innovative and disruptive platforms like yours.

In Bulletproof Your Marketplace, veteran technology lawyer and trusted platform business advisor Jeremy Gottschalk lays out effective ways to identify, predict, prevent, and respond to the risks that come with launching, operating, and scaling marketplaces and digital platforms.

Online marketplace and digital platform founders and leaders invest enormous time and effort into setting their businesses up for success, focusing on what it takes to launch and scale their innovative and disruptive ventures.

Bulletproof Your Marketplace offers platform stakeholders useful and actionable ways to avoid to identify, predict, prevent, and respond to the risks that come with launching, operating and scaling marketplaces and digital platforms.

Addressing some of a platform’s most common vulnerabilities one by one, Gottschalk lays out in plain and simple terms how founders and leaders can proactively and simultaneously protect their businesses and their communities.
