Who you are

As the product leader of a scaling company, you want team members to maintain the deep connection to users, the sense of urgency, and ownership that you feel. To operate with the scrappiness that was present in the early days requires an intentional and concerted effort.

Working together, we can accelerate the way your team operates by fixing what's slowing things down. Unblocking the team will help them focus on the things that will move the needle.

By learning and iterating quickly, finding product-market fit for new features and products will not be so unlikely.
