𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:
- Charge from Day One – "Charging out of the gate forces you to build a better product. You have to meet a higher bar than free competitors."
- Pricing Is Iterative – "Most founders think pricing is one decision at launch. But it's part of the product. It evolves. You have to revisit it the same way you iterate on features."
- Avoid the Race to the Bottom – "Undercutting incumbents on price can work if your product is nearly identical. But if you’re selling quality, charge accordingly."
