Tweet Advertisement for goPuff is a Great Example of CTCFTR and External API

by Larry Chiang on March 30, 2020

The goPuff (@gopuff) founders are using a great play right out of a playbook written by Mark McCormack. 
If they tried to sell goPuff, it’d be hard

If they sold you something that you really liked already, that’s CTCFTR and #ExternalAPI at the same time
Cross The Chasm From The Right. In gopuff’s example, they are using pints of yummy ice cream to sell you on the innovation of delivery. 
#ExternalAPI is when gopuff uses a non-relationship relationship with Ben and Jerry’s to sell Ben and Jerry’s without their permission. The API would be Ben and Jerry. Outside of the API would be GoPuff. Fully legal
