Pricing & Monetization for Software Companies

Design the product around price. Stay value-aligned

I help software companies determine how to charge, what to charge, and where pricing opportunities can create more future value.

20 years working with software companies

How I Help

Focus on getting pricing right from the start. As customers, products, and costs evolve, correcting the wrong pricing becomes increasingly difficult.

As products, customers, costs, and markets change, I help companies collect the right data, analyze the data, and extract practical pricing and monetization recommendations.

Establish Pricing

Determine how to charge, what to charge, and how to package a new product or offer.

Optimize Pricing

Identify underpricing, packaging gaps, discount leakage, expansion opportunities, and ways to improve value capture.

Continuous Price Monitoring

Leverage technology to connect customer, sales, industry, and financial signals so we can monitor pricing as the business grows.

About

Perspective built from operating, not theory.

Portrait of Von Robinson

Over 20 years, I've worked across startups, growth, and enterprise companies in sales, sales operations, recruiting, and founder-led roles. I've built companies from the ground up and understand first-hand the challenges leaders experience — researching ICPs, competitive analysis, customer interviews, cold-calling prospects, and building go-to-market motions.

That experience shaped how I approach pricing: understand the customer, determine what they value and will pay for, align it to the economics of the business, and extract decisions from that data that support growth.
