Testimonial

“Ruthless Insights conducted early stage market research to help us validate our MVP road map. I personally watched all the interviews he conducted and reviewed his analysis. As someone who has done similar type of research herself, I can confidently say that Filip does great work! He's one of those rare researchers that can connect with interviewees AND pull together thoughtful, actionable insights through his analysis. If you're looking for support with user/product/market research - I highly recommend Ruthless Insights :)”
