Product-Market Fit. Faster.
We are product and startup experts who use battle-tested methods to reduce cost, time-to-market and failure risk.
Our Services
These are some of our most requested services. However, every product, market, and team is different, and we craft every engagement to fit.

Product Discovery
Will your product find a market? Is it technically feasible? Does it align with your business objectives? A product discovery process can reduce these risks and more through user research, prototyping, journey mapping and other techniques.

Web3 Strategy
DAOs, dapps, NFTs, tokenomics, blockchains, smart contracts. Web3 offers incredible opportunity but its also ripe for confusion and missteps. We are passionate about helping clients leverage this potential and are deeply immersed in the community.

MVP Design
A minimum viable product is usually the fastest path to customer insight and traction, but without proper design the benefits are lost. Our approach ensures MVP success by focusing on hypotheses, validation criteria and metrics.

Product Strategy
The best product rarely wins. Competing on quality or price provide only short-term advantages. This is why we build flywheels into every product, leveraging switching costs, network effects, platform strategies and more.

Product Leadership
We frequently act in an operating role as interim or fractional executives. This enables new ventures to launch quickly while building out permanent teams. Existing ventures seeking faster growth and alignment also benefit.

Product Process & Culture
Reaching product market fit is only half the battle. Maintaining fit requires efficient product delivery and continual improvement. We help clients reach and maintain PMF by optimizing their talent mix, team structure, processes and culture.

ABOUT
Meet the Expert
I'm Paul Shustak, a product management expert with over 20 years of experience. I've helped launch over a dozen breakthrough products that had no clear precedent and uncertain demand. My career spans Fortune 50 companies such as Microsoft, Sony, and Adobe and venture-backed startups. I’ve also launched five of my own startups with two exits, so I know the importance of balancing user and business requirements.
My team and I specialize in helping companies find and maintain product market fit through Agile and Lean principles. We are designers, engineers, MBAs and above all, product people, perpetually excited by new technologies and their disruptive power.
