"Mentoring with Stellar was a real wake-up call. I clarified my role, managed my team more effectively, and made decisions I had been putting off for too long. In three months, we found our product-market fit, signed our first structuring contracts, and attracted new investors. Stellar's support had a decisive impact at a critical moment for the company. I would recommend it to any founder in the early stages."

Challenge

From problem to solution: How Aldebaran overcame its challenges

Aldebaran faced a number of challenges that hindered its growth and development. Here's how Stellar helped them overcome these obstacles to accelerate their growth and achieve their goals.

#1 Unclear product governance

The roles and levels of involvement among team members were poorly defined, which complicated decision-making and led to numerous disruptions in the roadmap.

Clarifying governance

Rebalancing of responsibilities and the implementation of weekly routines, reducing interruptions and speeding up decision-making.

#2 Roadmap structuring and uncertain product strategy
