Eva's product discovery workshop saved us from building the wrong thing. Invaluable.
Practical, structured, no-nonsense product advice. Exactly what we needed.
Eva has an incredible ability to cut through ambiguity and find the core problem.
From Idea to Validated MVP in 6 Weeks
SkillBridge
Challenge
SkillBridge had a broad vision for a talent marketplace but no clarity on which specific problem to solve first. The team was about to spend 6 months building features based on assumptions.
Solution
Ran a structured product discovery process: 30 user interviews in week one, synthesized into clear problem statements, then rapid prototyping and testing of three solution concepts before committing to development.
Results
- ✓Validated core product hypothesis in 6 weeks instead of 6 months
- ✓Identified a niche segment with 3x higher willingness to pay
- ✓Reduced initial MVP scope by 60% while increasing user interest
- ✓Secured 15 design partners before writing a line of code
“Eva saved us from building the wrong product. Her discovery process gave us conviction that we were solving a real problem for real people.”
