"I was lucky enough to meet Kay while Pionr was part of the NatWest Fintech Accelerator, and she has been hugely generous with her expertise and time, offering support and insight on several issues around management of remote software teams, testing procedures and web app monitoring tools, as well as generally providing an exceptionally positive outlook and a patient sounding board for thoughts and ideas, which is always a huge boon in the pressurised world of early-stage businesses! Since we completed our time at the accelerator Kay has continued to provide support, and we are looking forward to maintaining an ongoing connection."
Jonathan W, CEO of Pionr, UK

"I've moved from possible idea... to finding my market.. to finding my specific 'need' to fill - to collaborating with my market and gaining invaluable feedback as well as research. I'm currently in the 'Prototyping' phase of my project and it's moving quickly. I feel confident in the results gained... and the future. Can't say enough."

Nick C, founder of The Zeus App, UK

"Just sending more love for your Don't Hire a Software Developer book. I'd be so lost without it. I’m finalizing the testing requirements and I would never have found most of this stuff without your book. Plus, in re-reading the book the other day, I ran across a link in there for a free trial of AWS.  That’ll save me some cash getting started! It’s like having a mini-Kay hovering over my shoulder… LOL. Thanks again, :-) Dan."
Dan, USA

"A good read. Useful insight into agile development of project. Nice to get understanding of trello. Will use it in next project."
Amazon book reviewer, India

"Very often, my group ask each other: 'Where shall we go for dinner?' How can it be easier to find a date by swiping on Tinder, than to decide where to catch up with friends to eat?! After considering this, I came up with the idea of KtchUp, a mobile application for Android and iOS where friends can chat, swipe to express their restaurant preferences and click to book a table.
I started by drawing wireframes on a blank page, found a freelance designer, hired a freelance developer (that I unfortunately had to quickly terminate) then contracted with a small agency to develop the app. Having seen my ups and downs, a friend who also works on a startup project introduced me to Purposeful Products. After reading Don't Hire a Software Developer Until You Read this Book, and consulting with Purposeful Products, I just wished I had a time machine...
​The detours I had gone through are all listed in the book with prominent warning signs!
Purposeful Products has boosted my confidence to get the most out of both KtchUp’s Beta launch and our developers."​
I-Ding Wu, Co founder of mobile app KtchUp
