Helping founders and their teams build out the right products in the right way!
It's hard to know you are building the right product. That's why it's so important to articulate the problem you are trying to solve and put the customer at the heart of helping you solve it.
As an experienced Product and Tech Leader I often see businesses false start on their product builds as they lack a real understanding of their users needs and what good looks like for that 1st slice proposition.
Coupled with limited experience of how to incrementally deliver out a product to get fast feedback, businesses can fail to get the expected return or value creation when working with freelance developers, a 3rd party or even their internal team.
