Strategic Advisory
You are investing in your product and the results are not following. I challenge your choices, help you prioritise what has a real impact on the business, and keep your team on course. Your team does the work.
SprintRegular sessions · feedback between them · your team keeps the work
Many early-stage companies face this without anyone outside to challenge their strategic choices. Investors see the numbers once a quarter. Your team is too close.

Verdict
UnderpricedSweet spotSomeone who challenges your decisions and helps you prioritise the initiatives with a real impact on the business.
Starter tools from fifteen years of product, product marketing and strategy work, adapted to your context rather than installed as a doctrine.
Steady feedback that keeps your teams on track, so the next decision is better than the last one.
The founder, the CEO or the product leader who wants an outside eye on the decisions, not an extra pair of hands.

Someone who has sat in the room, aligned stakeholders, fought for trade-offs and made product work for the P&L.
In just a few days, Mathieu was able to help us identify areas of growth for our product. The solutions were right in front of us, but we’d never have been able to identify them without an outside, expert eye.
