Hey everyone, I'm Yusuf, co-founder at Vendo (YC S26). Berkeley honors grad at 19, Stanford MS, and now building open-source software that lets companies agentify their products: embedded agents your customers use to automate work, build views, and connect their tools. We're at 412 stars and I'm trying to push past 500 so more builders find it. If you have a GitHub account, this takes 10 seconds: open https://github.com/runvendo/vendo and hit the Star button in the top right. That's it. Live product if you want to poke at it: vendo.run Happy to answer anything about the stack, agents, or YC. And I'll return the favor, drop your repo below and I'll star it too. 🙏

Anyone create or own pricing for resellers? I want to get smarter about how to decide pricing here. I really hate the margin arbitrage game where they negotiate with you to carve out a margin for themselves. Anyone seen or created a better approach to avoid weird incentives for the customer?

Howdy pricing people! After a short break for paternity leave (we welcomed a baby boy!) we're back with a new Office Hours session. This is going to be a good one -- I'll be joined by @Arnon Shimoni (Solvimon) and @Ulrik Lehrskov-Schmidt (Willingness to Pay) on something I get asked about constantly: how to iterate on pricing faster. What's fun about this pairing is they cover both sides: - Ulrik takes the strategy side — how to read willingness to pay and decide what to change. - Arnon takes the execution side — how to actually ship pricing and billing changes in minutes instead of getting stuck for months. A few things we're going to dig into: - How do you move fast on pricing without breaking things downstream? - The build-vs-buy trap — why teams try to roll their own billing and underestimate what they're signing up for. - How the fastest-moving companies are pricing AI products right now. This is Q&A-first, so bring your questions — we'll work through as many as we can live.

80% of responses said they’ve added AI features and either haven’t changed pricing or customers haven’t cared. https://forstarters.substack.com/p/for-starters-83-the-monetization This suggests to me the NRR squeeze is less about absorbing variable token costs, and more about a misalignment between product and commercialization.

Hey folks! Our partners at Schematic are hosting a live credits workshop in San Francisco on Tuesday, September 8th. I've worked closely with this crew, and know it will be an awesome event. Details and registration info below 🫡 Description: ​This workshop is for PMs and engineers building credits and metering. It will be especially useful if you’re shifting from seats or any existing pricing model. ​In this working session, we’ll help you think through your credits model, how to handle top-ups and enforcement, and how to migrate existing users to the new pricing. ​By the end of the evening, you’ll have a live version of your pricing model in Schematic that you can implement in your product to support usage-based billing. ​Whether you’re just starting to think about credits or already deep in a migration, you’ll leave with something useful. ​Bring your laptop! Food and drinks will be provided. Register here: https://luma.com/29otrk4k
