How can a founder get help with product strategy?

Founders can work with an experienced product advisor for individual guidance on product decisions, MVP validation, and strategic thinking. This involves advisory conversations focused on helping you think better, decide better, and ship faster.

What is MVP validation and why does it matter?

MVP validation is the process of testing your product idea with real users before building the full product. It helps founders avoid wasting time and money building features users don't want. A validation-focused approach ensures you ship what actually creates traction.

How is AI product thinking different from adding AI features?

AI product thinking means identifying where AI creates real value for users versus where it's just hype. It involves mapping out how to integrate intelligence into your product without overcomplicating your tech stack or creating features users don't need.

When should a founder seek product advisory?

Founders benefit from product advisory when facing critical decisions about what to build, how to validate ideas, or how to avoid common mistakes that kill products. It's especially valuable before major development investments, when launching an MVP, or when you need an outside perspective from someone who has built and shipped products before.

About me

Hi there.

I'm Max. For 18 years I've turned ideas into real products, founded five companies and hired over 800 engineers and designers along the way. These days I work one-on-one with a handful of founders and build my own AI-native products at mx.works.

Product

From strategy to shipped

I know what to build, what to cut, and how to ship it. I've done zero-to-one more times than most people have done zero. I also design it, so nothing gets lost between strategy and UX.

AI Integration

Real leverage, not hype

I build my own products on AI daily. I know what actually moves the needle and what's just noise. I'll tell you exactly where it fits in your product and where it doesn't.

Execution

Things get done

I don't show up with a deck. I show up and things get done. One person across strategy, design, and AI means no handoffs, no lost context, no excuses.
