Product PeerSM

For companies looking to launch and evolve a product or service, focusing on customer development as well as product and service evolution.

Often companies pursue edge out opportunities – the ability to offer a new product or service which is the result of existing market or product expertise. We bring insight into iterative product and services development, coupled with customer and market validation experience.


Launching a new product or service is risky. Significant time and resources are often necessary and typically underestimated.

We provide expertise in segmenting risk and accelerating the learning cycles necessary to successfully tune a product or service offering toward a market and customer base.

Our Product Launch Services are based on two phases – a fixed price Due Diligence, where we work with you to assess the existing strategy and opportunities. We can then provide follow-on support in strategy development, launch and product/service evolution through our Product PeerSM service.
