About Vahe
Vahe Baghdasaryan founded Tangent, a paywall-design and revenue-intelligence consultancy for subscription mobile apps that Superwall acquired in 2025 alongside a $7.5M raise. He built it the hard way, starting as a solo operation called Paywalls Design that charged a few hundred dollars per paywall and posted the results publicly on X, then grew it into a seven-figure, 20-person firm. By its own account Tangent has run more than 5,000 experiments and designed over 20,000 paywalls across 100-plus apps, work it credits with $50M+ in added revenue and typical ARPU lifts of 30 to 40 percent within three months, for clients including Cal AI, ElevenLabs, Elevate, Hallow, and NGL.
He also works as a Growth Manager at Flo Health and previously ran growth and monetization at CoinStats, where he reports growing daily revenue 113 percent and trial signups 87 percent, after starting his career as a product marketer at Sololearn. He writes on paywalls, pricing, and lifecycle marketing for the RevenueCat blog, teaches a Maven cohort course on Subscription Optimization and Pricing Strategy, mentors on GrowthMentor, and speaks at MAU Vegas, App Promotion Summit, Business of Apps, and RAGA. Across all of it he keeps circling one question: what actually makes an individual user decide a subscription is worth paying for.
