When fundraising is the priority, we adapt our deliverables to ensure founders present a strong, evidence-backed product narrative.

As your product enters the market, you may struggle to uncover the right opportunities for improvement, maintain momentum, or resolve issues slowing down growth.
We help you identify roadblocks, focus your efforts, and drive measurable progress

Growth is lower than expected
Scaling plan is not defined and product strategy review is needed
No solution when facing low conversion/retention/LTV, high churn...

Lack of senior product leadership (PM/CPO) to guide the team
Product vision, roadmap, or priorities are unclear

I focus on advising founders on product development strategy, building product vision for long-term success, and ensuring that best practices are in place. Over the past 3 years, I have helped 50+ products at different stages of their development. Furthermore, I am involved in integrating a product approach into all processes of the company
​
I am excited about leveraging my experience to enhance your product

As a result, I have gathered extensive knowledge and expertise in these industries, allowing me to understand their unique challenges and opportunities.
