The Digital Product School connects digital professionals with businesses to work on real-world problems in a positive environment.
We enable companies to successfully develop digital products while addressing the challenges that arise in actual product development by applying best-in-class innovation techniques.
It is becoming harder for businesses to make long-term plans for the future. Our environment is changing faster than ever. What was valid yesterday may be obsolete today. Established processes and procedures may not lead us to the same commercial success anymore. So, we must change, too, and adjust the way we approach and do business.
To fulfil our mission, we want companies:
to succeed.
have access to the right tools and methods.
be attractive for skilled international talents.
make an impact in Germany's tech industry

An autonomous product team can act like a start-up and has all the skills to validate new business ideas quickly.
We hire talented people, graduates, and students from all over the world to work exclusively as one team for your challenge.
Design Thinking
Acquiring a clear understanding of the user's pains, desires, needs, and workarounds. We put ourselves in the shoes of potential users and create solutions they will love.
Agile
Delivering in a way that provides value early and constantly while adapting to new learnings.
Lean Start-up
Managing risks and assumptions early and with the least effort, running experiments and always striving to learn quickly through serving the customer.
Our product innovation journey benefits from the exclusive learnings we gathered through mentoring hundreds of product teams from discovery to launch.
The team learns and uses best practices to discover unknown user problems and falsify the riskiest assumptions.
The team utilizes its diverse background to generate innovative product ideas and validate them by methodically conducting experiments.
Once the experiments suggest moving forward with an idea, the team builds a minimal viable product to gain richer insights.
A cross-functional team will work exclusively on your challenge for three months full-time. Fresh concepts guaranteed.
The team is composed of a range of international talents. The individuals are close to finishing higher education and are ready to start their careers in the tech industry.
The team will explore and validate solution ideas. Creating value for users and customers is fundamental for commercial success.
Working closely with the product team gives you access to the latest best practices in product development. The high throughput of the teams we advise allows us to pair state-of-the-art tech and tools with exclusive learnings we generate.
Autonomous teams will take over the responsibility and opportunity of solving a challenge brought to us by an industry partner. They entrust the team with turning that challenge into a product – not for the drawer but for the world.
