Cloud-Service Startup: Pricing and Go-To-Market Case

Context

A cloud-service startup is reevaluating its pricing and go-to-market strategy while currently operating at a loss. Assume the product is an infrastructure or developer platform with usage-based cost drivers (e.g., compute hours, storage GB, API calls) and a mix of self-serve and sales-led customers.

Tasks

How would you structure the product offering and generate profit?
Why is the company operating at a loss?
How would expanding market share affect the business?
Which pricing strategy would you choose and what risks accompany it?

Consider value proposition, customer segmentation, unit economics, CAC, scalability, competitive landscape, and downside risks. State any minimal assumptions you make.
