Marcos Rivera, the founder of Pricing I/O, came up with the idea for his business after realizing that pricing was considered a black art to many B2B SaaS leaders. With his deep experience in building and growing software products, as well as his expertise in pricing and packaging from his time at Vista Equity Partners, Marcos decided to help software companies shift pricing from guesswork to a framework. Despite the risks involved, Marcos took the leap and started Pricing I/O, quickly signing his first client within a week of launching. Since then, the company has experienced significant growth, attracting and retaining customers through a community-focused approach, an authority position on pricing, and bite-sized content that resonates with their target audience.
