Welcome to web3 with a16z, I’m Robert Hackett and today, we discuss pricing strategy for startups — from traditional businesses to web2 to web3.

Topics we cover include:

unit economics
understanding consumer psychology
using onchain data to inform pricing decisions
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
How to navigate a pricing pivot
And lessons from real world pricing case studies, including Tesla, Nvidia, and others

Our experts include a16z crypto's Maggie Hsu, head of our go-to-market team; research partner and Harvard Business School professor of economics Scott Kominers; and head of our CSX startup accelerator Jason Rosenthal, who is a tech veteran having spent the last 25 years at various internet companies — the three combine all their different expertise around the theme of this episode.
