Manuel,
Thanks for that and please do join us on Fridays; would love to
hear how Cablebotics is going.
I agree with the price advice. Both for the reason you give but
also lowering the price gives the impression that even you don't think
it is worth the price. A discount can be given on the grounds that it is
a reward for moving fast or to address the risk premium in a new product
with out damaging the fundamental value proposition of the product.
Looking forward to catching up soon.
Best,
Ward
