Biggest Client Concerns
01Burned by large expensive firms.
We regularly fix projects that stalled elsewhere. One CEO paid more than $200K for the prestige of a well-known Boston firm and received a few PDFs of “user studies,” renderings, professional photography, and foam models, then was being pressed for the next phase priced at double.
02Resource bait and switch.
Past highlights sell the job, then high-margin staff do the work behind the scenes.
Top red flag: senior talking heads at the meeting, not the junior staff who actually do the work.
03Slow iteration and progress.
We understand the importance of cultivating the next generation, but your budget and schedule should not pay for the training that always happens on your project.
Top Advice: request a list of all resources assigned to your program.
04Adjacent experience sold as equivalent.
“We’ve done cardiovascular” is not the same as structural heart. Clients need experience with their specific device type and clinical domain. Another form of training on your project.
Top advice: Always ask for references for clients with multi-phase programs that went to production.
05Manufacturing black hole.
Blind online searches, navigating overpriced domestic vendors, and questionable quality/communication overseas.
Top Advice: Always ask for past client references with significant order volume.
06Stakeholders say-all end-all.
Every phase must produce a result the founder can confidently take into the next round, not just renderings. Phase change deliverables need to be significant and must justify the invoices.
