Freemium + Emergence Capital Partners
Don’t spend money on marketing, do offer flexibility and data exporting to eliminate buyers’ regret, make sure to capitalize on and value goodwill, and only charge for things that are hard to do. That’s what some startups say is the key to success in the freemium business. But the biggest reason the five presenters this morning at the Freemium Summit in San Francisco — Pandora, Dropbox, Evernote, Automattic (see disclosure at the bottom) and MailChimp — are doing well is because they have great products that people want.
Case Studies in Freemium: Pandora, Dropbox, Evernote, Automattic
Dropbox - Home - Online backup, file sync and sharing made easy.
Dropbox no longer supports Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.Pandora Radio - Listen to Free Internet Radio, Find New Music
Dear Pandora Visitor, We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use.
