Pricing: 4 lessons

Across the programme's 45 days we talk about pricing more than once. Here is the short version of those conversations, aimed at what gets shown on Friday.

Why it matters

Because an investor's first question is exactly about this. Pricing is not a task you finish once; it is a habit that comes back every week.

  • Conversation first, code second
  • Strangers, not friends
  • The painful answer is the valuable one

An investor buys the rate of growth, not the idea.

How to do it

  1. Talk to ten people
  2. Put the answers in a table
  3. Pick the three most painful
  4. Sketch a solution for those three
  5. Show it to ten more
