In this episode of First Principles Finance, Colin Anderson breaks down one of the most important and misunderstood topics for founders: pricing. Rather than focusing on pricing models first, Colin reframes the discussion around customer value and explains why understanding the economic impact of your product is the true starting point. Using examples from enterprise software, retail expansion, and industrial manufacturing, he outlines how founders can think through value creation, pricing ceilings, customer fairness, and long-term partnerships. Colin also shares practical lessons from operating experience, including why pricing conversations can become unproductive internally and why iteration in the market matters more than perfection in the boardroom.
