Announcing my productized service for startups and founders

Hey everyone, here Ash.

I recently launched my subscription-based design studio for startups and founders called Allie (www.allie.so).

Yeah yeah, I know there is nothing novel about the idea but give me a couple of minutes of your attention to tell you the story of how I came up with it.

I'm a Senior Product Designer, and I have been collaborating closely with founders and product teams for over 10y. During that experience, I identified 2 critical pain points that entrepreneurs face:

1. Some of them avoid investing in UX/UI design at the beginning of the journey and by the time they need to clean and improve their product to raise more money the process takes a lot of time and is very expensive.
2. Others invest in design early in the process but hiring a full-time product designer is extremely risky and a waste of valuable time.

During my career, I experienced both scenarios, and let me tell you that is very sad for everyone.

That's where I found in productized services an interesting solution for a real problem that founders are facing.

I have been testing this approach with some clients to test myself and fortunately, the results were very promising.

Now I'm in the process of turning this into a real business and that's how Allie was born.

This week I launched the website and now I'm reaching my network of founders to introduce my company and see if there is a fit between the service I provide and their needs.

I want to document all my milestones and findings in public in the hope of helping someone on a similar path, so stay tuned!

And if anyone reading this has some feedback or advice for what's coming in my journey, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
