Services

§ 1

Engagements are scoped like invoices are written: plainly. Each line below is something you can actually buy.

1Product strategy

Positioning, roadmap, and build-vs-buy decisions. A second brain for founders who need a sparring partner, not a slide deck.

2Digital concepts

From rough idea to validated concept: user flows, working prototypes, and a plan your developers can actually build from. Prototypes take days rather than sprints, so you test the idea before you commit a budget to it.

3App building

Native Mac and iPhone apps, from concept to the App Store.

4AI & automation

Agentic workflows baked into your operation, multiplying what your team produces. Applied where it pays rather than where it demos well.

5Technical advisory

Vendor and stack selection, architecture sanity checks, and an honest read on which AI claims in your market are real. What to build, what to buy, and what to ignore.

6Ongoing counsel

A monthly retainer for teams that want senior product judgment on call: reviews, decisions, unblocking, and keeping your tooling current while it changes month to month.

How an engagement runs

§ 2
Step 1

Intro call

Thirty minutes, free. You describe the problem; we tell you honestly whether we're the right help, and if not, who might be.

Step 2

Scoped engagement

Fixed scope or monthly retainer, agreed in writing before work starts. No discovery-phase theatre.

Step 3

Work, then invoice

Regular working sessions, decisions documented as we go. One invoice per month, plainly itemised.

About

§ 3

Spinbear is a one-person consultancy. That's deliberate: you work directly with the person doing the thinking, and nothing gets handed off to a junior team after the pitch.

The practice serves founders, product leaders, and small digital businesses across Europe, from early concept work to keeping long-running products honest.

Agentic AI is baked into how the practice works, from research and prototyping through to the products that ship. It multiplies productivity, creativity, and output, which is how one person delivers at a pace that usually takes a team.

Questions, answered plainly

§ 4
What does Spinbear do?

Spinbear is an independent product and strategy consultancy for digital businesses. Six things you can buy: product strategy, digital concepts, app building, AI and automation, technical advisory, and ongoing counsel on retainer.

Who is it for?

Founders, product leaders, and small digital teams across Europe that want senior product judgment without agency overhead.

How does AI fit into the work?

Agentic AI is baked into the work rather than sold as a separate product. It multiplies productivity, creativity, and output, which is how a one-person consultancy moves at the pace of a small team. Where it makes sense, the same approach gets built into what you ship.

How does an engagement start?

With a free thirty-minute intro call. If we are the right help, work runs as a fixed-scope project or a monthly retainer, agreed in writing before it starts.

Do you work remotely?

Yes, remote-first across the EU, in English, German, and French.

What does it cost?

It depends on scope. Projects are quoted fixed; ongoing counsel is a flat monthly retainer. Get in touch for a quote.

Why a one-person consultancy?

Because you work directly with the person doing the thinking. Nothing is handed off to a junior team after the pitch.
