”Balandor helped us go through the typical challenges startups face and solutions to them. We got a lot of information, knowledge and tools – for example Lean Canvas and Customer Development – and we were briefly trained to use those. After the consulting, we have used those tools and methods systematically. Consulting from Balandor was very useful; we minimized our risks and learned to focus on the essentials. We would like to work with Balandor in the future to further optimize how we work.”

”Our lean startup project with Balandor was extremely useful to us. We were able to clarify Memocate’s current state and our strategic choices for future development. We will continue on the same path and use the tools and working methods we learned during the project.”

”Tom developed a concept for us to introduce our services. The concept makes the benefits of our Scope Manager, Experience, Software Size Measurement and Benchmarking Services very concrete for our prospective customers. Tom also gave a test drive for the concept with three potential customers. We received good feedback from all of those customers. We received a complete set of templates and instructions from Tom so we can offer this concept as easily as possible. I can recommend Tom for your projects related to marketing and creating new services and products.”
