What Founders are saying
Working with Michael in the Venture Sprint was a turning point for datamonkeys.ai. In just a few days, he helped us cut through the noise, focus on what truly matters, and turn vague ideas into concrete decisions.
What we appreciated most was his ability to keep the sprint moving at a strong pace without it feeling chaotic. He brought structure, clear frameworks, and just the right amount of pressure so that we actually made progress instead of circling around the same topics.
By the end of the sprint, we had a clear set of priorities, a sharper story to tell about what we do, and a concrete roadmap for our next steps. Michael’s way of working is very hands-on, pragmatic, and honest – exactly what we needed as a startup team. We’re very thankful for his support and happy to recommend working with him.

Atlas Ledger's team spent a few days with Michael during a sprint period that helped us refine our business model. Michael helped us position ourselves in the market, challenged our hypotheses, and understand our customers better. Michael supported us in structuring the design process and facilitated the team's discussions. It was also very helpful for the team to receive external feedback. Michael helped make sense of our collective thinking. He is highly skilled at using AI to make the process smoother and go straight to the essentials. Thank you, Michael, for all the help, and all the best to you.
