About Haydn
I’ve spent the last decade working across startups, scale-ups, and enterprise - I have always been at the intersection of product, marketing, and growth.
I’ve launched my own businesses, led go-to-market strategy for leading SaaS and FMCG consumer brands, and helped build marketplaces and crowdfunded products from the ground up.
I work best with people who are building something they care about and want to get sharper in how they think, decide, and act- whether it’s your first idea or your third startup.

Learn to systematically reduce your chances of failure and make better decisions in the early and messy stages of building something.
Learn the fundamentals of product-market fit. Marketing does not make people buy products they do not want.
Learn how to define the ‘problem of the day’ and create systems to keep yourself and others sharply focused on it.
Free yourself from cookie-cutter approaches that will never work. Gain the tools to build, iterate and validate a playbook that actually works.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Haydn has an exceptional ability to take ideas and methodologies and bring them into reality, you don't need to have a degree, or read any books to have a clear understanding of what knowledge he is sharing.
He ensures that you understand, and does not make you feel silly for not being on the same page. He is supportive, insightful and always is wanting to make sure you get the best out of him.
I am not a business oriented professional, with Haydn I have confidently launched new business with the confidence. He did not just give the steps to take, but equipped me with the tools I needed, in the way that I learnt best.
Haydn's dedication to understanding the person he is working with, rather than just the process is second to none.
Haydn has been an incredible mentor for me when I have faced certain challenges during my creative pathway. We met some time ago (around 2 years) at a convention and right away, I knew Haydn was genuinely interested in supporting me. His knowledge and sound advice on particular subjects revolving around the marketing of my product(s) has been paramount in keeping me on track and making progress. I would highly recommend others to Haydn if they are seeking to learn more about in-depth marketing strategies and/or seeking guidance.
