We kept our high-tier enterprise plan pricing hidden behind a sales call form, thinking it would give our sales team leverage to negotiate bigger contract sizes. Instead, it was driving mid market prospects straight to our competitors who listed transparent pricing upfront.

Once we published clear, fixed enterprise tiers on our pricing page inbound qualifies leads actually increased rather than dropping off.

For founders targeting B2B clients: does transparent enterprise pricing build trust or does it cap your maximum deal size?

I don't usually dwell on what I've done, but sometimes I should probably be happy about everything I do (even if it's not the most successful).

Because I forget to enjoy the completion of something, and that can lead to burnout.

Yesterday, I came across a post saying that OpenAI projects a $14 billion loss in 2026. They ve gone through several funding rounds, offer monthly subscriptions, and are now planning to integrate ads into search results (which means another revenue stream).

Realistically, I don t think this loss will be covered in the short term, and profitability might only come over a longer horizon (if at all).

I remember there was a time when the Product Hunt team had a subcategory called AMA, which felt a bit more exclusive.

A special guest would show up with a post like I m X, founder of X, AMA, and those sessions were actually quite successful in my eyes.

Working from home has a ton of traps, like:

• Family members think that just because you re home, you re always available and need to drop everything for them.

• Your workday can stretch across the entire day, and sometimes you don t even know when to stop.

• You start missing real social contact.

• But it also has some huge upsides:

• You save time and money on commuting.

• You can sleep in a little longer.

• You get to schedule your day exactly how it suits you.

I'm bootstrapped and solo. I don't borrow, so I only do what I can pay for myself.

VCs have asked me about going public a few times. Honestly it did sound attractive, but I kept thinking about what I would lose. Once other people's money is in, you cannot decide things just on how you feel. In 2019 I was spending time in Australia, and I wouldn't have been able to do that with investors watching. Also if my kid gets sick I can drop everything.

I have never hired a full-time employee either, I spent that effort on improving the way I work myself.

Choice, or just how it turned out?

When you start getting regular users, everyone asks for random additions that sound good in the moment.

Slowly you look up and realize your simple app is turning into a bloated tool you didn't even want to make in the first place.

Where do you draw the line between listening to real feedback and just saying no to keep the app simple?

I ve been thinking about this while working on a product involving transactions between people who may not know each other.

A seller can complete 30 successful transactions, but the next customer may still know almost nothing about that history.

The obvious answer is to show completed transactions, ratings or reviews.

But that creates another problem.
