Super grateful for this video. Content on this topic is really scarce so thank you!! There were quite some gaps in the questions for a start-up for example on how to decide on pricing (go high, go low, in the middle...upsides / downsides etc), distribution avenues, what buyers expect / will ask, prototyping...

[@sourcingplayground7235]
