3-day workshop

The ideal start: In an intensive 3-day workshop, we develop your product vision together - our "Heroes Journey":

  • Day 1 - Customer Persona: Target group definition, identifying user needs and pain points
  • Day 2 - Customer Journey: Mapping the user journey, working out touchpoints and opportunities
  • Day 3 - Design Studio: Collaborative UI/UX concept development and solution vision

Result: A concrete solution vision as the basis for UI/UX and MVP development.

Frequently asked questions

Who is the EiR program suitable for?

For founders and entrepreneurs who have a technically demanding product idea but no development team. Also for established companies wanting to develop a new digital product.

What distinguishes EiR from a regular agency?

We think along. Instead of just implementing requirements, we challenge your ideas, bring our own suggestions, and take responsibility for product success. We are partners, not just service providers.

What does the collaboration look like in practice?

We work in agile sprints with weekly meetings. You get access to our project management tool and can track progress at any time. Regular demos ensure we are on the right track.
