πŸ’‘ Pricing is one of the most powerful & most overlooked GTM levers. In reality, it should be a dynamic driver of growth. In the AI era, old pricing tools can’t keep up. Speed, intelligence, adaptability are the new bar. That’s why @pearvc is backing @spyrikaras & Dealops. https://t.co/27dn6dPvwz

So excited about this! @DoorDash is one of my favorite products and it's been amazing to watch the company grow. I remember my first time using it with @cte and we became hooked :) Can't wait to hear more about the backstory of what has become one of our most used products for us https://t.co/rrBTObudgv
