Charge from Day One โ "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 โ "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 โ "Undercutting incumbents on price can work if your product is nearly identical. But if youโre selling quality, charge accordingly."
