The ultimate guide to willingness-to-pay

This week, we’ve got a special feature from our friend Lenny Rachitsky (aka lennysan), breaking down everything you need to know about how to price your product:

Pricing is the most under-leveraged growth lever. It can drive enormous sustained growth (quickly) and often takes very little product work, yet is rarely prioritized or even discussed within product teams. That’s because pricing can be scary, irrational, and hard to know if you’ve done it right. Yet everyone who invests in pricing wishes they’d done it a lot sooner.
 
Enter my friend Kristen Berman. Kristen is a behavioral scientist, a founder of Irrational Labs, and a past podcast guest and newsletter collaborator. For a decade, she’s worked closely with tech companies to drive behavior change. She leverages the latest behavioral-science research to improve products’ conversion, engagement, and, most impactfully, pricing. Just in the past few years, she’s helped dozens of companies revamp their pricing strategy—with tremendous results.
 
Below, based on her work and the latest research, Kristen shares the most in-depth and actionable guide I’ve come across on how to execute a pricing study (spoiler alert: there is way more than Van Westendorp)...

Crypto Chaos: Hawk Tuah Edition

The Hawk Tuah memecoin drama is the crypto world’s latest chaos magnet. Haliey Welch, the "Hawk Tuah Girl," launched $HAWK, promising fans a fun, meme-driven token. Instead, the coin skyrocketed to a $490M market cap before crashing over 90% in hours, leaving investors clutching at air and wallets suspiciously bloated. Blockchain sleuths flagged a few key accounts holding most of the tokens—classic "sniper" behavior—and the SEC is reportedly sniffing around.

Welch defended herself, claiming her team tried to block snipers with high fees, but critics (and golf influencer Paige Spiranac) weren’t buying it. Spiranac’s jab? “If I’ve learned anything, it’s to never release a memecoin.” Ouch.

Our take: Memecoins thrive on hype, but they’re a minefield for trust and transparency. Welch might’ve wanted to cash in on the meme, but when your coin is accused of insider trading hours after launch, the vibe goes from "fun" to "fraud" real fast.
