Product & Startup Builder

What if you could guarantee that the quarter is going to finish strong?

Added on by Chris Saad.

I've been helping a lot of companies to avoid wasted time and money while achieving killer results.

I figured it was time to give a little status update on recent wins that might inspire some of you to think bigger and win the quarter.

Here are some case studies from the last 6 months…

Company 1
Problem: Independent founder who had tried to build his product 3 times - each time missing the mark and getting derailed by market forces. He was wasting a lot of money and a LOT of opportunity cost.

How I helped: Together, we built an incredible Product and GTM story that finally resonated with users and disrupted the status quo. I helped eliminate the indecisions and confusion and imposed the discipline, focus, and attention to detail needed to build something great.

Company 2
Problem: A publicly listed company was experiencing Product + Engineering challenges. Low productivity, interpersonal conflicts, and nothing meaningful getting done. The company was burning millions of dollars and risking tens of millions in market cap.

How I helped: I got to the source of their product and engineering challenges by going upstream and fixing their business strategy and org chart. Facilitated a deep dive into their core areas of focus, product, and company principles and re-designed the entire org chart. Turned them into a truly product-led company and eliminated the real root cause of the issues. They now have an exciting product strategy based on market disruption and high-quality execution.

Company 3
Problem: The company had a range of disconnected point products that were a) not retaining users b) not driving cross-product sales. The company was quickly running out of runway and risking its chance of raising the next round.

How I helped: I supercharged cross-selling and transitioned them to subscription revenue. I did this by creating a unified organizing principle between the products and a delightful self-serve user experience that rationalized all the products into a single product suite. The suite can now deliver ongoing use-value that drives retention and unlocks a subscription pricing model.

Company 4
Problem: A consumer hygiene company was crushing it with viral campaigns on social media but couldn’t figure out how to become a sustainable business with a great brand. Metrics were going sideways, and the runway was running out.

How I helped: Designed and implemented a growth engine with an incredible onboarding journey. I helped them reimagine their brand as a more sophisticated and high-end player with something meaningful to say. They're now moving to the US with a confident and effective story about who they are and how they've changed the hygiene game.
