About Photo of Manuel Schurr

I believe the best product strategy is the one that actually gets built — and used.

I'm a product leader who moves between big-picture strategy and the details that make or break user experiences. I've authored product strategies and defended them at board level, run discovery in the field, and shipped features used by tens of thousands of people across regulated industries and consumer markets.

What I bring isn't a methodology — it's pattern recognition built from operating at every stage: corporate venture building at Deloitte, scaling product at Personio (Europe's leading HR tech), standing up a product and design function from scratch at Strategy Compass, building from zero at filu, and founding my own app.

I know what good looks like because I've built it more than once.

1,500

Users acquired in six weeks — zero paid spend. Hyzerbase, the first fantasy disc golf app for Android & iOS, hit 1,500+ users through community-led growth alone. The 89% weekly retention wasn't a lucky metric — it was the result of obsessing over the right core loop before scaling.
