2 rules govern how much you can make:

Stage and success of company

Let me explain 🧵 Image
Factor 1 - Where You Work

At bigger companies, the same title earns a lot more. Take VPs:

• $10M rev/ Series A: TC $675K
• $100M rev/ Series E: TC: $750K
• $500M rev/ Series E: TC $750K
• $1B rev/ Small-Mid Cap: TC $950K
• $100B rev/ FAANG-like: TC > $2.15M
And there's a huge difference in how liquid the earnings are at these companies.

For most private companies, liquidity events are rare and capped.

Moreover, the outcomes are highly bi-modal: the equity could go to 1, or could be a multiple. It's hardly a certain thing.

Remember the days of unlimited music skips on Spotify's free tier?

I bet you didn't know removing it increased paid subscribers 25%.

Here's the story: Image
Unlimited skips on the free plan was a golden age for music lovers.

But, for Spotify, they were losing money on each of those customers.

They needed them to upgrade.
So in 2014, Spotify limited skips on the free tier to six per hour.

The headlines were

• "Spotify’s free tier just got worse"
• "I’m quitting Spotify"

I researched the pricing models of 50 leading consumer software companies.

These are my top 4 takeaways: Image
1 — Subscriptions have come to every industry

In every industry, it's worth considering if a subscription makes sense for you.

Recurring revenue, stable cash flow, and higher LTV are all potential prizes.

But, consumers might be annoyed.
2 — Subscriptions aren't the only game in town

Yes, subscription or “subscription-like” pricing is 56% of this list.

But options like one-time fee, ad-supported, and transaction-based also appear.

And consumers often prefer them.

Companies kill their own messaging over time.

4 bad habits seep in as they grow.

Here's the breakdown: Image
@apierriPMM Bad Habit 1 - Speaking to multiple audiences at once

In the world of growth-focused companies, prioritization can be seen as weak.

But instead of effectively speaking to multiple audiences at once, you end up speaking to none.

In messaging, you must prioritize.
Bad Habit 2 — Choosing the Wrong Champion

Most commonly, people aim too senior. This has 2 problems:

1. There are exponentially fewer CEOs than VPs, directors, & managers
2. CEOs aren’t buying software

(There is one exception: if you’re targeting a small business.)

Here's the key events you need to know: Image
1956 -- Dartmouth Conference:

• Academics gathered at Dartmouth. They used the term AI for the first time
• The idea was to build a machine that mimicked human reasoning
• The first model was created
1958 -- Perceptron:

• Frank Rosenblatt's released the very first neural network, called Perceptron
• It was a single layer, but laid the foundation for architectures to come
• It was an early model of supervised learning

Notion's $10B valuation isn't magic. It's a masterclass in PLG.

There's 7 key elements to this motion.

Here's a quick rundown of each ↓ Image
1. Core problem communication

Clear & cute messaging:

↳ Notion has its trademark cartoon style
↳ And it always pays close attention to the details of design

Community to get the word out:
↳ Notion's creators and users spread the word
↳ It adds fuel to the fire
2. Information for decision

Plans for all:

↳ Its freemium forever plan attracts the price sensitive
↳ But it has all the functionality a big enterprise would need

Differentiation:

↳ Notion has great templates
↳ Notion is structure free, so it can be anything
