Is my project in the right stage?

Doman Innovation Studio works with projects that are past the prototyping stage. While iteration happens throughout a project’s lifecycle, you should already have an initial product that you can put in the hands of a potential user (this applies to both physical products and service-based businesses). Additionally, you should have some level of user feedback- meaning, somebody other than yourself and your close friends/family has tried the product and given you feedback.
