Source: Clarity Dan Seider Oct 5, 2014John was extremely helpful. While he was not versed in the specific business vertical I am working in, he had did give me some great advice about Lean Startup techniques. He pointed me towards some sources that will help me test my ideas without making large investments up front. And this is exactly what I was looking for.
Source: Clarity Ned Carleton Oct 1, 2014Great call with John. Hyper informative, to the point, and well spoken. Would definitely recommend John to users...he has a wealth of knowledge that not only comes from a top tier education but also in-the-trenches experience. Overall, very happy and will be reaching out again soon. - Rafael
Source: Clarity Rafael Balbi Jr Jun 12, 2014A crystal-clear and productive call with John. John was able to identify the competitive products, to position mine in the competition and to identify factors of differentiation.
He was extremely creative, suggesting two very innovative solutions to overcome a weakness that could slow down the adoption of my product. Finally he placed all the pieces together in a brilliant synthesis at the end of the call.
I'll set up another meeting in two weeks :)
