Calling all AI founders: It’s Thursday so the AI world is a full year advanced from last week already! The way to thrive? Treat your pricing like a product. I’m teaming up with @mahajankunal13 & @l0uistopper to host a meetup inside the Stripe Startups founder lounge on how to monetize your AI products. Come find me on Wednesday, April 29 at 12:30pm PT, and join fellow builders to discuss the playbooks we’re seeing work (and not work) as you scale. Whether you need specific insights on billing in-arrears vs auto top-ups or just want to exchange stories with other founders on the same journey, stop by to learn and share what you’re working on. Check out the full founders lounge agenda now (registration to Stripe Sessions is required to participate): …tupsstripesessions2026.splashthat.com See you there. #StripeSessions

@clairevo @soleio +1 to ‘Great designers are worth more than most almost anyone on the team’

English

claire vo 🖤@clairevo·25 Mar

I’ll say the thing no one is saying: design culture is broken in lots of companies. Often design teams & designers are the most resistant to change org in the EPD triad, with highly vocal AI opponents, and little skill or interest in the art of campaigning for influence or resources. Won’t hold a number like a PM, not yelled at about timelines like engineering. While I have brought design topics to the board convo, not a single board has pressed me our design talent, strategy, or velocity. Most teams treat design like a tax they don’t want to pay, and those that *do* take a deep interest and want to invest in design get back big “get out of my figma” energy. And if you’re too precious about craft to dirty your hands with the dark art of corporate politics, good luck getting more headcount. If a PM or engineer can get 85% there with tailwind and a dream, you better come to the table with more than “I represent the user.” Great designers are worth more than almost anyone on the team, and I’ve worked with lots of gems, but this is 0% surprising to me.

Lenny Rachitsky@lennysan

I don’t know exactly what’s going on here, but it does feel AI-related. Unlike PM and eng, which started growing in 2024 (two years post-ChatGPT), design didn’t. If I had to venture a theory, I’d say that because AI is allowing engineers to move so quickly, there’s less opportunity—and less desire—to involve the traditional design process. That said, you’d think design would become a differentiator as more products compete for attention. Something to think about for your company! We’ll keep watching this trend and AI’s impact on org design more generally. One interesting observation we made when we went a level deeper: the ratio of demand for PMs vs. designers has flipped. In mid-2023, we went from more open designer roles to more open PM roles. And ever since, PM demand has been pulling away (currently 1.27x). This will be another trend to monitor, in terms of how AI is reshaping org design.

If you really want to hold yourself to a high standard, graph the growth rate of the number you care about instead of the number itself. Then you're winning if you can even keep it flat.

We tried something. It didn’t work. And we took those learnings and decided to reward Articles instead of single posts. Articles have grown 20x since December and they are now the largest blogging product on the internet by traffic. In consumer product development, you sometimes take non-linear paths to discover opportunity.
