New Pricing for Tech Startups Course and Coupons

This month we are introducing a new course Pricing for Tech Startups by Sramana Mitra [Coupon Code: TRY1MBY1MMAR2024PRI]. There’s a common misconception that offering everything for free and then figuring out monetization later is a viable strategy. However, we firmly believe in assigning value to your products and services from the outset. Pricing is both important and complex, requiring careful analysis and strategic decision-making. This course shares proven methodologies and best practices honed over years of experience.

We have packaged our time-tested 1Mby1M methodology for building technology startups into many short courses on Udemy as part of our aim to democratize entrepreneurship education at scale globally.

For the month of March we are offering you up to 85% off the following courses as well.

All of these coupons will expire on March 31, 2024, so enroll today!

Colors: La Maison dans les Bois I

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – La Maison dans les Bois I

Shane Evans: I was actually born in the UK. Both of my parents worked at Heathrow. My father is British but my mother was Irish. I think their involvement and love for travel had an impact on me. I came to Ireland when I was two years old and that’s where I grew up.
