Shuki Aharonovich | Takhles: How Is Product Management Different at an Early-Stage Company?
Description
A short clip from the full conversation with Shuki Aharonovich. At a meetup for early-stage product managers organized by Symbol and led by Matan Gottlieb, Shuki noticed that product managers' frustrations are the same at every company stage, just with different titles: friction with the CEO, the VP Sales and R&D. That led him to distill three bullets for the right early-stage mindset, and this clip focuses on the first: you're here to build a company, not to build a product. On the defensive side, a sales organization that promises everything creates debt that lands on you later; on the offensive side, it's an opportunity to have influence and bring product thinking to the sales process.
