Course overview
Are you building the right product?
Building the product faster, more efficiently, launching marketing campaigns and many A/B tests - that all is great.
But... does it make sense, if you missed the very first step - clearly defining WHY you are building this exact product and for WHO?
No surprise, that many founders, marketers and product managers with great ideas or an amazing technology product struggle to find the right customers or grow fast.
This often happens because the product's positioning is not up to par or is ineffective. Usually it is down to several reasons: either the market category was misdefined, the target consumer was too broad or not aligned, or the product features being offered simply do not meet their needs.
This course will give you clear and easy to use frameworks and custom step by step guides to:
> Determine your product features and
> value-added using the provided framework
> Delimit your market segment
> Conduct customer interviews
> Create a product story
> Receive feedback from a community of like-minded people
It is for you if...
01
You are an early stage founder or product owner looking to build the right product and find product-market fit
02
You want to learn fast and apply learnings to your work from day one instead of relying on endless research
03
Your product marketing and sales are all set-up, but you don't see the traction expected and eager to fix it.

Tata May
Hi! I am Tata, business growth expert and startup advisor based in London.
Throughout my career I have worked in companies of various size and type and was always striving to create value and have an impact: for each individual user, team member. business and society overall.
In my 14 years of practice I have learned that no matter whether you work in a large multinational corporation like Nike, an early stage sustainability startup like Pangaia (from 0 to 70mln ARR in 2 years) or scale-up unicorns like Picsart (150 mln active users, backed by Sequoia) - you will always face similar problems: how to create or adjust your product offering to have your consumers love it.
I have done dozens of lectures, taught hundreds of students in live lectures and workshops, and stopping this a year ago made me feel that I miss something very important in my life - fulfilment from sharing knowledge.
That is why I have decided to create a cohort based course which will combine all of the knowledge I have gained into easy to use and follow frameworks.
My goal is to help early stage founders, as well as product and marketing professionals to build the right products and set them up for growth.

Consumer deep dive and research
There is nothing more important than obsessing over your customer group. Who they are? what do they do in spare time? what is important for them?
We will review types of user research and quest-re examples.
Homework: with quest-re ready, your next step is field work - you will go out there and talk with your current or potential customers.

From positioning to story
When your product positioning is ready, you understand who your target audience is - next thing will be acquisition.

We will also discuss how this could be used in identifying marketing channel mix and acquisition strategies.
