Adam Berk

Adam truely understands the nature of customer development and has been incredibly helpful to us during our customer discovery process. He has provided valuable insight, actionable steps and best of all, he's truly dedicated to his craft. Any Start would be lucky to work with him.

"Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" Adam has been a sobering ray of light of guidance in the otherwise foggy process that is building a startup. Instead of spoon-feeding us with answers, he pointed us in the right direction, but forced us to find our own way. We stopped what we were doing, got out of the building, and started talking to customers. That was simply a cathartic experience. Adam is clearly very experienced at anticipating any hurdles and pitfalls that entrepreneurs may encounter throughout this customer discover process, in that way he's more of a mentor, almost a therapist if you will.

Adam was a terrific teacher and advisor. In his Lean Startup for Social Good course, he went above and beyond the normal requirements of class to help me and others with our projects. He was available before and after classes and responded to questions via email. His insights were incredibly helpful and he seems to have a deep knowledge of and passion for the field.

Adam has excellent human relations, his funny but also very serious when needed. Adam helped me a lot to understand the "Lean Startup Methodology" and I'm seeing him like a real expert on this field.
I have no doubt that Adam is the kind of person that I would love to be a part of his team.

Adam was an absolute pleasure to have as a mentor and was integral to my experience at LSM NYC. With his entrepreneurial acumen he has the ability to masterfully convey complex subjects in understandable terms has been an asset not only to me but to lean start-up practitioners the world over.

I can see that Adam and LSM are doing wonders for entrepreneurs looking to get the problem and solution right. He came by AOL and met with a number of our product folks and it was clear to me that the principles of LSM are equally applicable to the enterprise. Adam has great energy and clear passion for what he preaches. I would recommend him to any organization, small or large, looking to rethink their approach to product development.

Adam is the epitome of professionalism and one of the most competent and honest individuals I've had the pleasure of working with -no need to mention the sense of humour he has. His follow-up skills and proactive approach to be a business partner have been a breath of fresh air since day one. It was a pleasure working with him and watched him help entrepreneurs.
