Open Core, Pricing and AI product development with Dat Tran

Dat Tran shares how he co-founded Priceloop, what problem it solves and how he's choosing to open source the core product.

I've seen more and more organisations choose this open core strategy. It removes lots of the hurdles for customer and developer adoption. On top of that, you join forces / create a community to make the product better.

Enjoy! 🎙
