Let's fix your free trial.
The whole thing.

Not just the signup form. Not just the onboarding tour. The whole loop — from the ad that brought them in, to the teammate they invite on day three.

For Nordic SaaS doing €500k–€5M ARR Same time zone. Same train line.

This is for you if…

If this chart is on your dashboard, you're leaving money on the table.

When your Closed Lost report is dominated by "No Decision" and "Insourcing," some of it is your sales process. The rest is upstream. Your buyer never reached the moment of knowing they needed you — so when the deal stalled, they defaulted to nothing.

That's the loop I fix.

Closed Lost by Reason — dominated by Insourcing and No Decision

What most teams get wrong about PLG.

01

PLG isn't a signup flow, it's a loop.

The reason your trial doesn't convert is rarely the trial. It's the expectation users arrived with, the action they took in the first 60 seconds, and whether they had a reason to bring a teammate. Fix the loop, not the form.

02

The vision is the easy part.

The hard part isn't the vision. It's the dozen decisions between today and that vision. Most consultants leave before those decisions hit. I stay through them — sparring on the trade-offs, designing the partial when the full version won't ship this quarter, sharpening the spec when one's missing.

PLG is six things, not one.
I do all six.

Most consultancies own steps 3 and 4. The strategy decks tap out around step 5. I work the whole loop, because that's where the leaks actually are.

1

Message

The ad, headline, and positioning that brings in users who'll convert — and warns off the ones who won't.

2

Targeting

The audiences and channels that turn impressions into trial fits, not vanity traffic.

3

Signup

The flow that gets them in without making them think. Friction at the right places, removed everywhere else.

4

Activation

The first 60 seconds. The first action. The first win. Designed, instrumented, and email-triggered.

5

Aha

The moment the value clicks. Defined explicitly. Measured. Then engineered into every trial.

6

Flywheel

The teammate they invite. The referral they make. The renewal. The reason this compounds.

Two ways to work together.

Hi. I'm Dave.

Dave Schneider, founder of Velocity Labs

I've spent 14 years building PLG go-to-market engines at Trustpilot, Forecast, and Ocean.io, growing them from €500k to €110m in ARR.

I trained under Marty Cagan and the Silicon Valley Product Group on the product side, which makes me one of the few people who's run this play from both the marketing seat and the product seat.

Velocity Labs is what happens when a CMO who's tired of the marketing-vs-product wall decides to do something about it.

Built for Nordic SaaS.
From Copenhagen.

Nordic founders are pragmatic, allergic to theater, and hate being sold to. So am I. Velocity Labs is a Copenhagen-based PLG consultancy that works in your hours, speaks your business language, and shows up at your whiteboard.

In your time zone.

I work the same hours as you do, so project timelines won't get stretched by 'next-business-day' replies to simple questions.

On your train line.

Workshops in person in Copenhagen, Malmö, Stockholm, or Oslo. The good ones happen at a whiteboard.

In your culture.

No growth-hacking theater. No 30-slide preambles. Disagreements happen out loud. Decisions ship faster.

Questions you're probably about to ask.

Why not just hire a growth lead in-house?

Six-month ramp. €120k+ loaded cost. Wrong-fit risk. Start next week, finish in two. Total cost is a fraction of a senior hire's first-month payroll — and you leave with a system, not a job opening. Hire the growth lead later, once you know what role you actually need.

We already have a free trial. It works.

Define "works." If your trial-to-paid conversion is under 10%, your loop is broken upstream of the trial — and no amount of in-app optimization will fix that. The first thing I do on a teardown is show you exactly where the leak is.

Can you just do the Sprint and we'll execute it ourselves?

Yes. That's exactly what the Sprint is for. But: the reason your last strategy didn't ship is probably still in the room. The Build exists for the founders who'd rather not roll those dice twice.

Do you work in English or Danish?

Both. Workshops can run in either language. Written deliverables are in English by default.

What if we're not in the Nordics?

I take on a handful of clients each year from outside the region. Same work, just more video calls and fewer trains.

What if I only need help with one specific thing — just the email sequence, just the analytics?

That's what the Build is for. Tell me what you need shipped and I'll quote it on its own. No need to buy the full Sprint first if you already know where the gap is.

What's the catch with the free teardown?

There's no catch — it's my qualification step. In 30 minutes I'll find three structural leaks in your loop. If the fix is worth real money to you, we'll talk about a Sprint. If it isn't, you keep the diagnosis and we part ways.

Your free trial is leaking users right now.

Book a free 30-minute teardown. I'll find three things wrong with your loop on the call. If it's not useful, you owe me nothing. If it is, we'll talk about a Sprint.
