About Us
Lynx & Pine was founded by Johanna and Mattias Ekman Klasman
Lynx & Pine is a specialized course evaluation and consulting partner for education and experience-based businesses, including adventure programs, retreats, and practical learning experiences. We help course providers improve participant satisfaction, repeat bookings, and referrals through actionable insights and participant-first evaluation.
We focus on learning experience optimization, participant satisfaction, course clarity, and outcome improvement for small and medium education and experience-based providers. Our team evaluates real courses and experiences, identifies gaps, and provides practical recommendations that are immediately implementable.
Founded in 2025 by Johanna & Mattias Ekman Klasman, Lynx & Pine was built to solve the core challenge in course delivery: ensuring participants understand, enjoy, and trust the experiences offered. We combine pedagogical expertise, real-world observation, and actionable insights to help course providers turn great ideas into high-performing programs.
