Who’s behind this?
I'm Bal Sieber. I spent the first half of my career as a creative director in digital marketing, the second half as a product designer working with teams like Microsoft, Google, and Couchbase. That combination is exactly why I ended up here.
Across 20+ years and dozens of SaaS products, I kept seeing the same pattern: great product, bad first impression, users who never made it to the part that would have made them stay.
The Onboarding Loop is the framework I built to fix it. Not by adding more tools on top of a broken experience, but by redesigning the experience itself, from signup to first value, so users activate faster, retain longer, and upgrade on their own.
