Nobody Wants a $100K Build
Joe's premium custom builds aren't closing anymore. For the first time, clients are walking on price, reasoning they can just throw Claude tokens at it for a fraction of the cost.
Joe's premium custom builds aren't closing anymore. For the first time, clients are walking on price, reasoning they can just throw Claude tokens at it for a fraction of the cost. Ruby Native lets him deliver the same value at a much lower price point, but he's still wrestling with what that does to his business.
Colleen, fresh off Legoland and a grown-up Vegas trip, pushes back: the value isn't dropping, the market is shifting, and the real problem is distribution.
They dig into a funding conversation Joe has tomorrow, why money isn't a silver bullet, and the partnerships and marketing experiments that actually move the needle.
