"When my co-founders and I started Loopio, we used Étienne’s Lean B2B principles to guide our actions, especially with customer conversations and research.
This ensured that every line of code we wrote was translated into raw value for our customers—which then translated into precious, early revenue. Understanding how to ask the right questions and listen for insights is critical if you want to maximize the output of your time, and in turn, your product development."
Yes! I do all of our projects directly with the founders and their teams (you won't get a surprise junior employee).
Sliced's services are rapid applications of the methodology in the book Find Your Market. The methodology builds on The Lean B2B Methodology, which has helped thousands of startups and scale-ups find or tighten their product/market fits.
We understand that the greatest enemy for founders is time (time spent = runway burnt). To help define your ICP, we require only a minimal amount of time—roughly 16 hours over the course of five weeks. When it comes to market exploration, it will vary customer to customer.
Our sessions run better with smaller groups. Whoever knows your product and customers best should be present. If this is just the founder, great! If it’s the founder plus the marketing, sales, or product leaders, that works too.
All our engagements start with a kickoff call. You can start thinking about how you wish to segment your market. What types of customers would be great to get more of? Try to understand their worldview and day-to-day work.
In this case, we invite you to start with our books.
Sliced's services are intended for companies post product/market fit that have at least 30 customers and generate a minimum of $250k in annual sales.
You want feedback on your product's positioning.
