How Pre-Seed Founders Can Use a Pricing Discovery Sprint
from The Pre-Seed Podcast with Fexingo: Idea-Stage Founders, First Checks, and Earliest Funding · host Fexingo
Episode 47 of The Pre-Seed Podcast: Lucas and Luna walk through a pricing discovery sprint for pre-seed founders — a structured two-week process to test willingness-to-pay before you set a number. They break down how one founder used a tiered landing page test with $29, $49, and $79 price points, ran 200 targeted clicks via LinkedIn ads for under $500, and got 12 genuine sign-ups at $49 before building a single feature. Lucas explains the difference between Van Westendorp and Gabor-Granger survey methods, and why you should never ask 'What would you pay?' in a customer interview. The hosts also discuss how to avoid anchoring bias in early pricing conversations, and when to pivot if no one bites at your lowest tier. Practical, tactical, no theory. #PreSeed #PricingDiscovery #FounderTips #StartupPricing #VanWestendorp #GaborGranger #WillingnessToPay #LeanStartup #CustomerDevelopment #EarlyStage #SaaS #ProductMarketFit #BusinessPodcast #Entrepreneurship #FexingoBusiness #StartupAdvice #PricingStrategy #Validation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
