#148 - Startup School Week 7 Recap - Kevin Hale on Conversion Rates and Pricing
Manage episode 244489273 series 1442441
We've cut down the seventh week of lectures to be even shorter and combined them into one podcast.
Kevin Hale gave both lectures this week. Kevin’s a partner at YC and cofounded Wufoo. His first lecture is on how to improve conversion rates and his second lecture is on pricing for startups.
Y Combinator invests a small amount of money ($150k) in a large number of startups (recently 200), twice a year.
