Product Lab at AsteriskRD

What we do

A focused path to shipped product.

Product strategy

Sharpen the bet — problem, audience, value, business model.

User research

Talk to the people you're building for, before you build.

Wireframes

Make the product real on paper before it's real in code.

Prototypes

Clickable, testable versions that move conversations forward.

MVP builds

A focused first version of the product, shipped to real users.

Launch planning

Channel, narrative and rollout — not just the build.

Built for

Three audiences. One method.

Founders

Pre-MVP and pre-seed teams shaping a first product.

NGOs

Programs that need a working digital tool, not a deck.

Corporate innovation teams

Internal teams running new bets outside the core business.

FAQ

Common questions.

  • Is Product Lab really open in Kigali?

    Yes. Rwanda is our latest active Lab node and intake is open for early product builds. Slots are deliberately limited so first MVPs can ship.

  • Do I need a finished idea before booking?

    No. A clear problem and an audience are enough. We sharpen the bet in the Product Session and decide together whether the next step is strategy, discovery or a build.

  • What does intake look like?

    A 30-minute Product Session to pressure-test the idea, followed by a written proposal with MVP scope, milestones and pricing.

  • What happens after I book?

    We confirm receipt within 2 business days, schedule the Product Session and send a short prep note. After the call, you receive a tailored proposal.

  • How long until an MVP ships?

    Most first MVPs ship in 6–12 weeks once scope is agreed. We aggressively cut features to protect the launch date.
