An exceptional lecturer who engages the students and brings real-life discovery examples.

        I recently took Darinka's product discovery short course and it was a game changer for my business. I was able to identify a real customer problem that we can solve, and propose a solution that is exactly what the customers needed. The course provides techniques and processes for discovering and validating product ideas.
