Marc Andreessen: “I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.” “We spend a lot of time working with our companies on pricing,” a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen explains. “It’s really this magical art and science that a lot of companies don’t take seriously enough.” Marc continues: “A core principle of pricing is that you don’t want to price by cost if you can avoid it. You want to price by value. Especially when you’re selling to businesses, you want to price as a percentage of the business value you’re creating.” He gives the example of building an AI that can do the job of a programmer, a lawyer, or a radiologist: “Can you price by value and get a percentage of what otherwise would’ve literally been a person? Or equivalently can you price by marginal productivity? If you can take a human doctor and make them much more productive because you give them AI, can you price as a percentage of the productivity uplift?” Marc argues that high prices are under-appreciated by founders: “The naive view on pricing is the lower the pricing, the better it is for the customer. The more sophisticated way of looking at it is that higher prices are often good for the customer because the higher price means the vendor can make the product better, faster. Companies with higher prices and higher margins can actually invest more in R&D and make the product better. Most people who buy things aren’t just looking for the cheapest price. They want something that’s going to work really well.” Marc also emphasizes this point in an interview in Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook: “What I hear from companies is, ‘Oh, we have an awesome moat, and we’re still going to price our product cheap, because we think that’s somehow going to maximize our business.’ I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. First of all, raising prices is a great way to flesh out whether you actually do have a moat. If you do have a moat, the customers will still buy, because they have to. The definition of a moat is the ability to charge more. And so number one, it’s just a good way to flesh out that topic and really expose it to sunlight. And then number two, companies that charge more can better fund both their distribution efforts and their ongoing R&D efforts. Charging more is a key lever to be able to grow. And the companies that charge more therefore tend to grow faster. That’s counterintuitive to a lot of engineers. A lot of engineers think there’s a one-dimensional relationship between price and value. They have this mental model of commerce like they’re selling rice or something. It’s like, “My product is magical and nobody can replicate it, and I need to price it like it’s a commodity.” No, you don’t. In fact, quite the opposite. If you price it high, then you can fund a much more expensive sales and marketing effort, which means you’re much more likely to win the market, which means you’re much more likely to be able afford to do all the R&D and acquisitions you’re going to want to do. And so we always try to snap people into a two-dimensional mindset, where higher prices equals faster growth.” Source: a16z (Jan 2026)

The notion that the same radical Democrats who just shut down the federal government, sabotaged our economy, robbed people of their paychecks, and also helped Joe Biden ratchet up inflation to 9% suddenly are now affordability champions is completely absurd – and it's something only the liberal media would have the gall to claim. Here are the facts: President Trump and his Administration have done a lot to lower prices and increase the economic prosperity of the American people in less than 10 short months. 💰President Trump signed the largest middle-class tax cuts in history, including No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and No Tax on Social Security to guarantee that Americans keep more of their hard-earned money. ⛽️The President unleashed American energy dominance to help bring gasoline prices to the lowest in 5 years and also lower energy costs overall (this is key because we know energy costs are the number one driver of inflation). 💊To lower prescription drug prices and overall healthcare costs, President Trump already negotiated most-favored-nation-pricing agreements with 5 Big Pharma companies. ✂️📄To fuel small businesses, lower their costs, and incentivize hiring, the Trump Administration has already cut 30 unnecessary regulations for every new one on the books. ✅And all of these pro-growth Trump policies are working. 💰Wages are rising at the fastest pace of the start of a presidential administration in 60 years. 🏠The cost of the typical new mortgage is down by nearly $3,000 dollars a year. There’s much more work to do but President Trump has made great progress in cleaning up the economic disaster created by Joe Biden and the Democrats!
