About this webinar
Pricing used to be a decision you made once a year and only revisited for a new launch or in a crisis. That's over. Monetization is now in constant motion, and the AI shift is accelerating it faster than the manual processes most companies still rely on can handle. In this fireside-style discussion, Andrew Garvin, Co-Founder and COO of Metronome, shares what he's seeing across the fastest-growing AI businesses, and why getting monetization right has become one of the clearest predictors of whether a company is primed for rapid growth. He'll be joined by Alexandra Demopoulos, Head of Monetization at Aiven, who brings 15+ years of experience in pricing software and infrastructure across enterprise storage, banking, and high-growth API products. Together they unpack what actually changes when you treat monetization as a living system, and what it takes to build pricing that keeps pace with how fast your business is moving.
