🏷️ Pricing Strategy

In case you missed it, we ran a Webinar with Simon-Kucher & Partners on:

  1. Why pricing is a huge lever for startups

  2. Practical tips on how to get started on pricing

These guys use data from a recent study with a bunch of startups from Bessemer Venture Partners’ portfolio.


⚡ Weekly Hack: T-Shaped Information Diet

I find that almost every thought I have is downstream from what I consume. If you have better inputs, you naturally get better outputs. - James Clear

In this insightful piece, Nick discussed how to setup your own T-shaped information diet. Here’s the TL;DR:

  • Map out your personal / professional responsibilities (+ hobbies)

  • Make a list: Find, carefully curate and subscribe to relevant information streams

  • Rank and edit this list: be aggressive with ranking - set a very high quality bar

  • Seek new quality sources: your list should always be a work in progress.

What is the point of doing this?

IMO: If you want to create anything that is original - unique to you - collect information that amazes YOU, from multiple different sources, and combine them to form your own insights.


💭 Thinking or Reading

🎨 Is Anything Truly Original?

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something - Steve Jobs

I took this tweet and built on it - getting some meta-creativity going on.
