How Indirect Business Models Win Big

We are looking at how the biggest winners in modern commerce use indirect business models to subsidize core products and capture long-term value. Lucas and Luna break down why companies like Gillette and Razorfish shift from one-time hardware sales to recurring razor blade revenue, and how this strategy creates deeper customer lock-in than direct pricing ever could. We explore the unit economics of loss leaders, the psychology of sunk costs, and why platform fees often hide more value than they take. This is not about subscription fatigue or churn; it is about structural design. By October 2026, understanding these hidden profit engines is critical for any founder or investor navigating a market where attention and access are the new currency.
