Juergen is full of thoughtful, meaningful, and visionary insights. He's a great conversationalist who can get your brain flowing with new, exciting ideas in no time. What I like is that Juergen is not a yes man who tells you why your product is great but what's wrong with it. If you're an entrepreneur, he will help you move in the right direction.

It was a privilege working with Juergen. During the time we worked together I've learned a lot about Product Development. He developed the 'Needs' app from scratch along with users. That included prototyping, testing, observing and pivoting until it resonates with the user. Juergen is always on the edge of technological innovations and brings forward new products that innovate the industry. His technical understanding gives him excellent skills in managing developer teams. I can highly recommend him as a Product Manager.

Juergen was very helpful in providing me suggestions for my research.
He helped me to overcome a bottleneck in user research and pointed me to really helpful resources.

"We are very satisfied with Juergen's work for the zanox Application Store. His user experience- and market analysis provided very useful insights on weaknesses and development opportunities. We also benefit from his huge market and business knowledge to improve the product. He gave clear insights and recommendations on how to take the product to the next level."

Your input has helped us to focus on the right stuff/KPIs and get our initial 2.8k users, press articles and a first investor. Here is what you recommended: You told us to test a lot more with our customers -> this has saved us massive development costs. Some features do not resonate, which you will only know through testing. Getting feedback from bloggers and then expand to journalists. This tactic worked extremely well. What I have learned was when I ask for feedback then I get an article, when I ask for an article then I get feedback. Improving the landing page. Instead of writing "welcome to ..." write a value based message with a call to action. Thank you for your great advice. You really helped us a lot.

Jürgen hat mich immer zuverlässig und termingerecht unterstützt. Er verstand zügig meinen komplexen Sachverhalt, brachte die Kernidee schnell zu Papier und entwickelte daraus einen ansprechenden Prototypen. Dieser war weitaus günstiger und schneller entwickelt als ein programmierter Prototyp aber absolut ausreichend um schnell authentische Reaktionen von seiner Zielgruppe zu bekommen und die Spezifikationen für die Entwickler zielgerecht zu optimieren. Das Ergebnis: ich weiß welche Funktionen und Ansprachen bei der Zielgruppe Resonanz erzeugen, brauche keine "tausend" Sitzungen mit den Entwicklern mehr und jeder im Team weiß welche Vision ich im Kopf habe.

I've been working with Juergen over almost a year, during which we've run 3 design sprints that have resulted in great, thorough tested product concepts/changes that have helped to raise our seed round.

Juergen has a unique ability to boil down incredibly complex concepts into simple user experiences and designs that just intuitively "make sense" to the masses.

By offering his services, he not only helps in the short term, but leaves you with a new skill-set to improve your team. I've been able to internalize his product sprint process.

Juergen never ceases to produce extremely clever ways of attacking new problems. I can hands-down say that he is by far one of the most creative people I have ever worked with, and would be thrilled to work with him in the future

I met Juergen two times and received valuable insights in a short amount of time. He asked the right questions right away, challenged our assumptions, identified our weak spots and provided with suggestions on how to work on them. His feedback was of great help in improving our pitch and defining our GTM strategy.

Jürgen coached us on our go to market strategy and helped us to optimize our landing page conversion. With his suggestions we could double our signup rate.

Juergen served as a mentor for a Mexican startup who felt that she got a massive amount of value for the short amount of time that they were able to spend together. She created many positive changes in her business as a result of the mentorship session.
