We find the product-user disconnect before your investor does.

Your startup is funded and your product is built. So why isn't it getting traction?

Most traction problems aren't a marketing problem or a funding problem. They're a product problem. The gap between what you've built and what your users actually need, that's what's costing you growth, retention, and your next round.

I'm Pearl Oguchi, an independent product strategist. I work with funded startup founders and VC portfolio companies to find that gap, name it clearly, and map out what needs to change. No stake in your outcome except the right one.

Founders and product team planning an app roadmap together

The situation funded founders don't talk about

You have funding. You have a team. You've shipped. But the numbers aren't moving the way your deck said they would.

Users aren't staying. The roadmap keeps growing but traction isn't following. You're not sure if you're building the right thing or if what you've built is genuinely working for the people it's meant to serve.

That's not a confidence problem. It's a product-user disconnect. And it's more common in funded startups than anyone admits out loud.
