Foundations

Product

Core. Actual. Augmented.

More than code.
More than features.

A product isn’t just about how it looks and what it does.
It’s about how it fits into people’s lives and the value it brings.
It's about depth.

From problem to solution to scalable product.

This workshop is the key to transforming your solution into something customers will love and pay for. It will help you understand what makes your product valuable, scalable, and irreplaceable.

Trusted by brave founders like you

My product was growing slowly, but Foundations has put me on the right track. As a solopreneur, I’ve learned to step back, take a fresh look at things, and truly understand my customers—it’s been a game-changer for me.

When juggling code, marketing, and support tickets, losing sight of your business is easy.
But now, I can see how my product meets my customers’ needs. I’m making smarter decisions; everything I do now feels clearer and delivers better results.
Our product is a complex mix, and the competition we’re up against is fierce.
Our vision is to disrupt a market that’s gotten too comfortable.

Open source is the future, and the Paradigm Foundations gave us the needed structure.

We’ve learned how our products connect, developed a clearer internal language, and gained access to simple tools so we can move quickly and build the right things.

Questions
you should ask.

What's the difference between a product and a shiny idea with a cool prototype? Is our product solving problems people care about? Are people willing to pay for our services?
How do we build a business around it? Are we ready to scale? How do we build a robust infrastructure? Can we supercharge our go-to-market strategy? How can we turn our product into a profitable, sustainable business?
Can we paint a vivid/consistent picture that our team understands? Are we simplifying, clarifying, and repeating until it sticks? Does the Engineering team understand the lingo Design, Product, and Marketing people/teams are speaking? Is everyone speaking Business?
Are we aligning our goals with our customers' goals? Are those goals resulting in something our customers are willing to pay for? How can we stay aligned on this?
What benefit do we deliver? What's our actual product? Are we building an ecosystem? Is our product a great infrastructure for our services? When should we involve a designer, a software engineer and a marketer? How do we decide what gets prioritised?
Can our customers find us? Are we standing out [from Day One] or just blending in? Are we solving real problems and keeping our brand relevant? Are we building sustainability into our DNA?
Are we raising a wild horse? Is our brand our true promise? Are we keeping, protecting, and growing it consistently at every touchpoint? Are we differentiated, relevant and sustainable? How can we measure our perceived value?
Are we considering all variables in our GTM? Can we improve it? How do we connect our core product with the differentiator?
Are we positioning our product[s] strategically by understanding the market, knowing our competition, and carving out a niche we can own and defend? Can we scale?
Are we guarding them like our business depends on them? Are we controlling costs, pricing smartly, and ensuring value trumps cheap every day of the week?

Groundwork

A short story about [your] product.

This could be your story. You’re not here to sit on the sidelines. You’re here to make a difference, actually to do something. You’re tired of the 9-to-5 grind, watching others get ahead while you feel stuck, and of layoffs and last-minute reorganisations every time some CEO wants to shake things up.
