Founders + Founder Ecosystem

"Moses hadn't used user research before this project to develop one of our in-house projects. I was really surprised and intrigued by the insights that Dr Chloe Sharp had found for us. She really challenged our assumptions and gave us something concrete to work with when iterating the Alpha product, based on evidence. We felt reassured that the iterations of the product are in line with user needs and our future product roadmap is based on evidence rather than assumptions. In the future, we'll certainly do user research again as we gained so much from it."

— Terry Yoell, Founder, FLOCK
