"We were launching a new product and needed to make sure it hit with our target market. MaaxaLabs set up a customer council so we could get continuous feedback from real users from start to finish. It took her a week to set up UserLabs and get data on our prototype." -Jen W., Principal Product Manager
-
"We needed to validate which of two directions to invest in our software offerings during a time when our competitors were edging in. MaaxaLabs journey mapped our options with users, aligned our product, marketing and sales teams, and unlocked a successful launch." -Darryl H., Founder & CEO

"It was time for my small business to launch its biggest product to date. In two weeks, MaaxaLabs drew up and launched a survey that assured us that our customers would love a new product–and were unlikely to pay for our alternative version. We nailed it." -KathrynM. , Founder
