Product Consultant

Hey everyone! 👋 I'm Samaneh, a Product Consultant based in Istanbul, and I'd love to offer something valuable to this community. A little about my journey: I've spent 20 years working across branding, teaching, UX & product design, sales, customer success, and business development. Not because I couldn't decide, but because each role taught me something the previous one couldn't. The biggest lesson came from co-founding my own AI-driven startup. I built something I genuinely believed in, made every classic founder mistake, building before validating, optimizing the wrong things, and losing sight of the market while obsessing over the product. I learned the hard way what I wish someone had told me from day one. That experience, combined with consulting with several founders in the past few years across different industries and markets, gave me something most consultants don't have: a real understanding of where early-stage founders get stuck and exactly what it takes to move forward. I work best with solo founders and early-stage teams who already have a product in hand but feel lost on what comes next. Here's what I can help you with: 👉 Product evaluation: honest assessment of where your product stands and what needs attention 👉 Challenging your assumptions: sometimes the most valuable thing is someone who tells you what's not working and why 👉 Building on your ideas: I don't just evaluate, I contribute 👉 PRDs & pitch decks: structuring your vision for your team or investors 👉 Market positioning: who your real customer is and how to talk to them 👉 Go-to-market strategy: where to start, what to prioritize, and how to reach your first customers I'm offering 5 free 45-minute sessions to members of this group; solo founders get priority.
