I'm building a web app and API for mixing audio for musicians and bedroom producers. Obviously the web app is user friendly and lets someone non-technical to create a mix, but ultimately the core tech in the API is where the value is. I'm still trying to figure out pricing for API versus what is offered in the web app and I'm not even sure where to start? A variation on my nearest competitor? How have you guys approached this?

I wonder how much you rely on your gut feeling. ... Emotional self-awareness is essential for good decision-making, and neuroscience backs this up. Learning how to use your gut feeling is a brilliant skill of the few who know. It works in all circumstances: raising money, finding the right investors, partnering with someone, negotiating an acquisition, hiring an employee... If you are unaware of what causes excitement or fear you re condemned to be ruled by innate biases that were indispensable to your ancestors but leading to irrational decision-making today. For example, your amygdala activates the same way when seeing a snake or seeing a face of another race. (Even more so if you were not raised in a mixed environment.) Such confusion can lead to plenty of bad decisions.

If you've ever had an experience building a marketplace business, I would love to know what are your feelings about it
