Stop guessing why users aren't sticking around.

Product and technical strategy for health and wellness startups. Find out what's holding your product back, what to simplify, and what to build next.

Feargal Walsh

You built the product exactly the way you imagined. Everyone told you it was amazing.

Your agency or AI executed your vision perfectly. Somehow, almost nobody sticks around.

Everyone's saying nice things. Nobody's buying, or asking for more.

You've had plenty of feature ideas. Every time you build one, people still don't come back.

Why me

Most technical advisors can code, or they can read a customer. Rarely both.

I spent years as a senior engineer shipping production software, including a partner integration that generated $1M in annual revenue in two weeks. I've spent just as long sitting with founders while they talk to real users. That combination is what this work actually needs.

Not a dev shop

Offshore agencies and AI build what you ask for. They won't push back when you don't know what to ask for.

I'm not a developer for hire. I'm the second opinion you don't have. A dev shop builds what you tell them to build. I tell you what's worth building.

A clear path from product confusion to your next move.

  1. Book a diagnosis call. Talk through your product and where you're stuck.
  2. Choose the right support. Agree on what your product actually needs.
  3. Move forward with a clear plan. Know what to fix, simplify, or build next.

How we can work together

Product Audit

Know what to fix before you spend more.

A structured teardown of what you've already built. I use the product like a first-time customer, dig into your usage data, and understand your vision. You get a plain-English six-month roadmap, plus the technical recommendations to get there: a written report, wireframes, product requirements, and a call to walk through it.

$1,500 (founding-client pricing) · two week turnaround
Ongoing Advisory

Make your next product decision with confidence.

For founders who want that second set of eyes permanently. A weekly session reviewing what shipped, what customers said, and what's next, plus async access for decisions that can't wait. Think fractional CTO, without the fluff or the full-time salary.

$3,000/month (founding-client pricing) · month-to-month, no lock-in
Hands-On Development

Get expert help building what actually matters.

Sometimes the answer is that something needs to actually get built, not just advised on. Priced like senior, hands-on engineering time, not agency day rates, so it's only the right call when handing this off to your own team genuinely isn't an option.

Custom project pricing

If I don't think I can help, I'll say so in the first ten minutes of the call.

"Feargal quickly got up to speed on our product, identified key technical gaps, and helped us prioritize roadmap decisions that saved us time and money. He brought clarity where there was chaos."

Burak Duvenci

"He helps me feel confident about technical decisions by breaking things down in a way that makes sense. It's like having a knowledgeable friend in your corner who's genuinely invested in your success."

Fair questions

I already have a developer or an agency. Why do I need this too?

You probably don't need to replace them. You need someone who isn't billing you by the hour to tell you what they never will. I don't build, I evaluate, sometimes design, and advise. Most clients keep their existing team and just make better decisions about how to use them.

Can't I just ask ChatGPT or Claude about this?

You can, and you should, for a lot of it. Where it falls short is judgment calls that need context an AI doesn't have: your actual customers, your actual codebase, your actual constraints. I use AI tools daily in my own work. This is what happens when someone who does that full-time puts it to use on your specific product.

Why health and wellness founders specifically?

It's where I've chosen to specialize. Founders in this space are usually already spending real money with an agency, which tells me they're serious, and the product lives or dies on whether a real person keeps coming back, not whether the feature list looks impressive. That's exactly the problem I'm built to solve.
