About Steve

Hi, I’m Steve Dashiell, a tech entrepreneur, self-taught designer, and world traveler. I have a deep passion for innovation, technology and peak human performance. I was raised in the US and currently split my time between California and Thailand. I have the personality of a deep thinker, according to the Flow Genome Project, and Myers-Briggs seems to have me pegged as an INTJ. As a result, I feel most fulfilled when I am helping conscious driven organizations and entrepreneurs actualize their purpose. You can learn more about me here. I’m on a mission is to help 1 million people live better this year. To achieve this goal, I am focused on helping like-minded organizations market and grow their business. I can help in three ways:

Market Strategy

I help design business models that drive new revenue growth by increasing buyer value.

Pricing

I help founders hit their revenue and profit goals by designing data-driven monetization strategies.

Product Design

I help design customer experiences that provide defensible competitive advantages.

Strategic Creativity

“Steve represents a unique combination of business strategy and creative talent, a combination I often seek yet typically cannot find in talent for many of the portfolio companies I work with. I highly recommend Steve and always look forward to working with him.”

– Trapp Lewis, MD Palmetto Ventures

Design a Blue Ocean Strategy

TURN UNCERTAINTY INTO OPPORTUNITY

Today’s leaders face a constantly shifting array of strategic challenges. Disruptive technologies appear with little notice. New competitors and customer demands challenge incumbent business models. The skills that worked in the past are often not ones we need to thrive in the future. Since unpredictable is the new normal, and the ability to adapt, a necessity, how do leaders guide their organizations to make winning strategic choices?

As a business designer and strategy consultant, I apply scientific principles and design thinking methodologies to help management teams create new businesses that generate exponential revenue by assessing, innovating and implementing new value propositions and business models. A few selected projects include:

Data-driven Monetization

Nearly 75% of all new products and services miss their revenue and profit goals. Don’t be a statistic!

Price It Right

FIX LEAKY REVENUE WITH A BETTER MONETIZATION STRATEGY

What is your pricing strategy? Are you hitting your sales and revenue goals? If you are like most companies, you probably aren’t. Pricing is one of the most important aspects of product innovation yet it is often put on the back burner until after a new product or service has been built. I use a practical, nine-step approach for monetizing innovation that can be applied to any organization. The key is to start with pricing first, than build a product around what your customers are willing to pay for. Sell them what they want.

Product-Solution Fit

I help design business models that drive new revenue growth by increasing buyer value while reducing costs.

Product-Market Fit

Apply WTP data to build the features customers are willing to pay for in your product, and then validate market fit.
