You know that sinking feeling. You’ve come up with a winning product strategy, everyone’s on board and energized, and you’re halfway down the path to execution only to have it submarined by something someone convinced your leadership was more strategic!

Meetings. We all have them. Most of us hate them. When I ask why, here are some of the responses I hear: They take too much time away from our “real work.” It's too hard to find time to meet. Our calendars are too full. We can't find a place to meet. If we're back in the office, we have no meeting rooms. Or, we have some remote people, so we need several “places” to meet and the technology to support all those places.

We kicked off this year by introducing our vision for transparent pricing that would make it as frictionless as possible for companies of all sizes to get started with product analytics. The problem we’ve seen across B2B software at large is that vendors hide their pricing, forcing expensive discovery calls and negotiations that waste time and leave customers questioning whether they’re getting a good deal (and they’re often not).
