Episode notes
Geo-Pricing Unlocks New Markets
- OpenAI's ChatGPT Go launch in Indonesia aims to expand paid AI adoption in lower-income countries by offering a mid-tier price point.
- Geo-pricing can convert non-paying users into low-tier subscribers but requires strict fraud protections like billing-address checks.
Past Startup Experience Shaped Views
- Jaeden recalled running Self Pause, an AI life-coach startup, and facing pricing sensitivity in markets like India.
- That experience influenced his view that lower local prices can attract users who otherwise wouldn't subscribe.
Localize Prices, Lock Down Abuse
- Use localized pricing to match purchasing power instead of charging a flat global rate for subscriptions.
- Implement strict geo-locking (credit-card address, other checks) to prevent VPN-based arbitrage.
