HOW TO

Build great products

On this page we share our insights, knowledge and some helpful resources to help you kickstart building great products.

The formula:


To build great products, you need to understand people. Because people aren’t about solutions, they’re about relief. These are the 4 dimensions of a great product:

✓  Meets customer needs, solves a real problem
✓  Exceeds customer expectations 
✓  Is easy to use
 Has a good value/price 

“Making products for your customers is far more efficient than finding customers for your products.”
– Seth Godin
