How did you figure out what to charge for your first product?

Not looking for the "charge more" take, genuinely curious about the actual moment.

Did you pick a number and see if it stuck? Copy what a competitor was charging? Wait until someone paid without flinching?

For most founders I've talked to, the first price was either a guess or an anchor they got stuck with for way too long. Real pricing data only shows up after you've closed enough deals to see a pattern and by then you've probably left money on the table.

What was your process, and would you do it differently?

For the creators here - how are you currently managing your brand deals?

Genuinely curious what people are using before Paperclip or instead of Paperclip.

When I was talking to creators while building this, the answers were all over the place - a Google Sheet with 40 columns, a Notion database they stopped updating after the third deal, a folder of starred emails, or just their memory. A few people had genuinely impressive systems that I ended up learning from.

PaperClip - One place for every brand deal, from pitch to payment.

Paperclip is a brand deal management tool for content creators and UGC creators. Pipeline tracking, deliverable checklists, invoice generation, and payment chase templates — all in one place. What sets it apart: upload a contract or email thread and the AI extracts the deal automatically. No manual entry. Every closed deal also builds a rate history so creators stop guessing what to charge and start pricing from their own data. Built for the creator. Not the brand.
