Episode 3 - Building Monetization with Rob Truesdell (Pangea Cloud)
Rob Truesdell, CPO of Pangea Cloud, shares his journey in the tech industry and discusses the big market inflections in building software and security companies. He emphasizes the importance of delivering value quickly in the SaaS space and reducing time to value for developers. Rob also talks about the consumerization of enterprise software and the need to support multiple go-to-market motions, hybrid billing models, and selling multiple products. He explains the infrastructure and components Pangea built to support flexible pricing & packaging, highlighting their metering system, payments method, pricing tables, and integrations with downstream business systems (stripe for payments & hubspot for CRM).
