Sound Bites

"I wanted to create this service as one that derisks that product development piece for startups that are attempting a complex product."

"If you have a paying customer who's going to pay you to solve a problem that you have identified and you can solve that problem at a price point that they're going to pay you for and you can have a healthy margin, everything else falls into place."

"Ultra-lean is a component of a couple different things. So, number one is what I was just describing to you, is like build only the bare bones of what's required to go to market or test out the concept, nothing more.”
