So I am super interested in your comment and I think you will be a bit surprised by my response.
I am not a strong believer in capitalism. On the contrary. Neither is Andrej. We both grew up in leftist families and I must have been the only portfolio manager that reads Das Kapital at night. We actually came at the problem from a very very different direction. We thought pricing everything from a US perspective was problematic. The price levels in India are about a 10th of the US.
So we thought "Ok but that doesn't even make sense for a SaaS to price the same way everywhere. Because they lose out on poorer markets". We built Corrily with the thought that more personalized pricing based on an individual's willingness to pay also reflected an individual's capacity to pay. We think it's pretty cool to align a business incentive (reach more markets) with an economic one (poorer nations and richer nations paying different amounts). I actually wonder a lot what other people think about this because I think it is an important point. Is it fairer to price differently according to willingness to pay given not everyone has the same purchasing power, or to give the same price to everyone? |
