What I've learned transitioning from a founder to product manager
👋 Hi, I'm Jaryd. Welcome to this weeks Slice— the free weekly newsletter about product, startups, growth and working with people.
That was probably one of the most important experiences I’ve been through. It gave me exposure to many aspects of business and building a product, and I was constantly learning — mainly about how not to do things.
This was from a startup perspective of course — where things are different. You have less resources, you’ve got more scrappy processes and things change a lot faster
In 2020, due largely to luck and good timing, we got to join the largest company in the market that is working towards the same mission we were at WECAST, and shared a similar market hypothesis. Meaning we could continue the work we were doing but at a much larger scale.
I joined as one of the first product managers, transitioning from a small startup team into a larger team with world-class people, and a high-performing product culture.
