Signal Sprint
I join 4 beta testing calls with you and your potential users. Then we decide together what to build — and I put a working demo with your core flows in your hands in 3 days.
No commitment required. Let's see if the Sprint is right for you.
The Problem
You've got access to potential users. Maybe they've expressed interest, joined a waitlist, or said they'd love to try what you're building. But you're not sure exactly what to build for them yet.
The Signal Sprint puts real user conversations at the center of your build decisions — so you ship something people actually want, not what you assumed they wanted.
What You Get
Real user signal, clear decisions, and a working demo
4 Beta Testing Calls
I join you on calls with 4 potential users of your software to hear their pain points firsthand
Decision Session
A separate call where we decide together exactly what to build based on real user signal
Working Demo
A functional demo with your core flows in your hands within 3 days of our decision session
How It Works
Discovery Call
We start with a brief call to understand your product concept and confirm you have 4 potential users ready for beta calls.
4 Beta Testing Calls
I join you on calls with 4 potential users. We listen to their pain points, workflows, and what they actually need — not what we think they need.
Decision Session
On a separate call, we review what we learned and decide together exactly what to build. No guessing — just clear decisions based on real signal.
Working Demo
Within 3 days of our decision session, you have a working demo with your core flows in your hands — ready to show users, investors, or collaborators.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the Signal Sprint for?
Founders who have access to potential users and want to validate their product direction before committing to a full build. This is ideal if you have people willing to talk to you but aren't sure what to build for them yet.
What will I have after the Sprint?
A working demo that shows your core product flows — something you can put in front of users, investors, or collaborators. Plus the clarity that comes from making build decisions based on real user conversations, not assumptions.
Do I need to find the beta testers?
Yes. You bring 4 potential users who are willing to get on a call. These should be people who might actually use your product — customers, community members, or people who've expressed interest in what you're building.
How long does the Sprint take?
The timeline depends on scheduling the 4 user calls. Once we complete the calls and our decision session, you'll have a working demo in your hands within 3 days.
What kind of demo will I get?
A functional prototype that demonstrates your core user flows. This isn't a polished production app — it's a working proof of concept that shows how your product will actually work for users.
What if we learn something unexpected in the calls?
That's the point. The Signal Sprint is designed to let user feedback shape what we build. Our decision session happens after the calls specifically so we can respond to what we learned.
