    E38: Solo - Thoughts On Pricing Products

    Description: This episode is a solo episode on some thoughts I had about pricing products and services especially for early stage companies. The original thought came from listening to an old This Week in Startups episode with Marco Zappacosta (https://open.spotify.com/episode/5ylxDbTCXPzoNy8ZizCNJ3?si=c6ccf80ecf984f8f). This episode covers the general approaches to how I have thought about pricing products or services. It then covers some of the nuance that I refine into my thinking after hearing Marco Zappacosta speak. The Context (00:00:58) | The Bottom Up Approach (00:04:01) | The Top Down Approach (00:05:43) | Putting It Together & Price Discipline (00:07:56)   Accompanying Substack: https://entrepreneursofasia.substack.com/p/on-pricing-products
