Startup Looking For Expertise? 5 Benefits Of Using Office Hours

Building something new often comes with more questions than answers.

Clarity and conviction on what product to build, for whom, and in what markets is the result of deep experience in an industry and high signal market research.

Office Hours helps companies find and access these crucial perspectives.

One of our customers, Heidi Yang, a product designer at YC-backed logistics startup, Qualli, used Office Hours to conduct user interviews.

Here's how she found value:

“Our target users are specialists with a demanding work schedule. Office Hours made it 100x easier to connect to those users, and the insights we've gained were extremely formative to our strategy”

Office Hours helps teams conduct impactful primary research, giving leaders a way to prove or disprove their assumptions, and uncover additional insight to help inform their paths forward.

Founders, product teams, and other key decision makers can leverage Office Hours to:

1. Validate new opportunities: Whether it’s expansion into a new product, customer segment, or geography, Office Hours gives users the ability to find stakeholders who can provide valuable perspective to inform critical decisions.
2. Capture objective market feedback: Search the Office Hours network for specific titles, companies, and geographies and build a target list of perspectives to get objective feedback.
