Our community was raving about you after you left. I am excited to circulate the material you shared with our Lab." ### Dynamite! Adrian Cole, Founder @ Gritly.co "I could go on about why but this is like discovering DYNAMITE for me. I give you a lot of the credit as that implicit bias you pointed out. Letting go of that propensity to build for just a day revealed all this. Truly is. Now facing, a new set of real challenges around systematizing everything and making it a seamless experience. Very well on the way. Thank you again." ### "highly recommend him to founders looking to save both headache and heartache on their journey's" Avish Bhama I worked with Chinedu for several months to get coaching and advisory for helping us get to product market fit. He has an immensely detailed understanding of early stage companies pre-product companies, founder psychology, and market validation methods. My experiences working with him on this were incredibly helpful - both for me personally as a founder, as well as for getting our company moving in the right direction and making tractable progress towards product market fit. I'm grateful I had these experiences with Chinedu and highly recommend him to founders looking to save both headache and heartache on their journey's. ## Masterclass taught to Founders at ## Bonus materials - Trello Templates Get easy to follow templates that walk you through the practical steps to transform your idea into a startup. - Curated videos from experts Watch a curated list of videos from other experts that further explain each step. - Weekly "Ask me anything" sessions Do you still have questions?
