Great people

We work with exceptional practitioners that you virtually cannot find out there – but you will love to work with. Our typical coaches are very senior (10+ yrs) experts in Product, Engineering, Design, and Research. We only work with people who have experience working at companies such as Google and Amazon or highly successful start-ups.

Great customers

We only work with companies we connect with. Our clients range from high growth start-ups to established companies including Spotify and Decentriq.

If you are trying to move to the product model, having a product coach that has been there and done that at a strong product company can make all the difference in the world. Elias and Florian are both serious product coaches with the experience you need.

“Talking to Elias feels like sparring with a more experienced version of myself. I bring him my headaches, and he provides pragmatic guidance. The hands-on approach is invaluable. It’s like having a coach on the sidelines while I play on the pitch. Totally feels like using a cheat code.”

Lukasz Biedrycki, VP Engineering Glassnode

“Elias is a fantastic coach! He is approachable and insightful, offering fresh perspectives on challenges that surprised me for the better. Coaching, especially for leaders, is invaluable – having someone to bounce ideas off of makes a huge difference. Plus, you learn a ton! Highly recommended.”

Agathe Brusset, Chief Product Officer

“Elias has proven to be extremely helpful in just a short time, allowing me to be more focused on things that matter while being easy to talk to, available and insightful, he was (and still is) a tremendous help during my first few weeks as a first-time CPO. “

How we help

Too many companies are focussed on the delivery of their products (“coding”) instead of ensuring that what they are building is truly valuable for their customers and viable for the business (for a deeper understanding of this process check out Marty Cagan’s fantastic book “Empowered”). We can help you change this approach, so that you are building much better products in a shorter time (yes, that’s possible!).

Our work with you is tailored to your unique situation.

Principles we believe in:

#1

Give people problems to solve, not solutions to build

#2

Put your people over processes

#3

Focus on the outcome, not only on the output

Our Services

Assessment

No matter if you want our opinion on a single process or a 360° look at your entire organization, we take a close look at your company to understand what works and what does not and will provide you with an action plan.

We identify your main gaps to the industry best practice and give crisp & tailored recommendations on how to improve.

Coaching

We believe that working through real life situations with another practitioner’s expertise is by far the most effective way to learn and improve.

We offer coaching for executives, team leaders and individual contributors in Product, Engineering and Design.
