Episode #299 of The VentureFizz Podcast features Kate McCullough, Co-Founder & Chief Growth Officer at Nue.
In challenging markets, like we are in right now, companies in the tech industry need to think hard about pricing of their product. Should you discount your product or think through other options like usage based pricing or credit burn down pricing. Kate and I start our conversation around the different pricing options and key points that you need to think about because these decisions can have a major impact in the future when it comes to renewals, so lots of useful information for entrepreneurs.
