Business Science Fiction Fantasy

4.2/5 (877 ratings)
I founded Precoil to help companies find product market fit using lean startup, design thinking and business model innovation. I power the testing practice with my friends over at Strategyzer.

I've helped teams move fast and validate things at companies such as GE, Toyota, Adobe, HP and Behr just to name a few. I've worked with hundreds of teams all around the world and consider myself very lucky to do so. I strongly believe that no matter what you are creating, it needs to be desirable, viable and feasible.

Prior to advising, I spent over 10 years of my career at technology startups and continue to give back to the startup community by teaching at several accelerators in Silicon Valley. I give back to students as well, guest lecturing at universities such as Harvard, Yale and Berkeley.

I'm the co-author of Testing Business Ideas , a Wiley business book with Alexander Osterwalder. An internationally recognized business book in 20 languages, it is dedicated to corporate innovators, startup entrepreneurs and solopreneurs who don't want to waste time building products that nobody wants.
