Connecting Dots
It all starts with a Technical Audit that we perform to benchmark the current state of your organisation and identify potential solutions to your specific case.
Startups move fast. Tech markets move even faster. By the time you release in prod the window of opportunity might slam shut. Or your runway might run out.
We are Connecting Dots and we help Startups and Scale-ups take better decisions and build solid foundations around their tech, processes and people so they can become robust and remain fast in the long run.
Reliable execution techniques for startups on the road to PMF
Connecting Dots is a consulting company that helps early stage startups ship fast and collaborate effectively so they get more tries at being wrong before they eventually get it right.
📦 Ship at least once a week
Stop wasting time and runway with gold-plating and busywork. Remain laser-focused and get the product in front of the customer as fast as possible.
🧠 Stop brain-draining meetings
Simplify your processes and put best-practices on repeat. Find the workflows that let your devs focus on coding and you on strategic thinking.
💎 Create a real team
Identify the hidden gems in your team and set them up to become the leaders that will keep pushing things forward even when you’re not looking.
If this is you:
You are an early stage IT startup with a team of 10-50 people
You are in the pre-seed / seed stage
Your are working in hybrid mode or full-remote
You are fighting to achieve market fit
You have a unique product, rockstar developers and investors that believe in you.
You feel it should be easy to build and execute the roadmap, but…
...but this is also you:
You take more than a week to ship something new
Your quarterly roadmap feels more like a list of hopes and wishes than a plan you trust
You pay > 1M € a year for your precious developers but they spend more time in brain-draining meetings than doing actual coding
You tried a few Agile techniques, maybe OKRs or other boiler plate formulas, but none sticks and after a while the team slowly drifts back to the “old ways” of working
You are afraid on trying new things for fear the team wouldn’t like it and get demotivated
You are worried to loose velocity if you scale the team
...and if you want to do something about it, know that you can.
Our Services for Startups
It all starts with a Delivery Audit that we perform to benchmark the current state of your organisation and identify what solutions make most sense in your specific case.

After the Delivery Audit we unlock 2 different types of follow-up services. Each is designed to help you put in place the recommendations and plan previously uncovered in the Audit, with various alternatives of involvement from our side.
What Clients Say About Us
Rhai Goburdhun
CEO, Club
〝I wanted to secure our velocity and to make it easier to deliver at the current pace and if possible to increase that pace by hiring. Because as a startup, shipping fast is critical given your limited runway, so you want to make sure to make the most of your funding!
Costin and Manfred can quickly get a 360 view of your team, strengths, weaknesses, tech & human/mindset, that would take you years to see & accept. And working with them is easy, like having them on the team.
It was great to get actual propositions that we could implement quickly!
It's been the 3rd time we did the Audit, and we definitely became a better company by implementing their solutions without changing everything.〞
Make execution your superpower on your journey to product market fit
Once you've got the seed investment finding market fit is the main thing you ought to be doing. And just a great product idea is not enough. You need to be able to execute the plan and ship (at least) once a week.
At Connecting Dots we have a no-nonsense approach* to putting in place simple processes and smooth collaboration techniques that will let you get your product in the customers' hands fast and often. In other words, we help you get more chances to nail PMF before you run out of runway.
