Course overview
Learn essential product management skills
You have limited time, a long list of tasks, and too many resources and advice. It is hard to know how you can have the biggest impact.
You have responsibilities that seem simple but are hard to accomplish:
• Collaborate and communicate with engineers, leaders, designers, and other stakeholders.
• Build products that users love, use, and trust.
• Make data-driven decisions
• Stay informed about latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI), the market, business needs, etc.
• And many more...
In this course, you'll learn what is important where you are and identify the most important next steps so you feel more confident and take action.
Your journey is unique. We will navigate it together, ensuring you have the guidance you need to succeed.
You should NOT take this course if:
* You want to get into product roles in Big Tech (Google, Meta, Apple, etc.). Look up Shreyas Doshi's course for that.
* You are a senior product person (Senior PM - CPO) with 5+ years of experience in product
* You are not working on building a product (or considering it in the near future)
Who is this course for
01
Anyone responsible for products at startups (Idea to Series B) or side ventures because they know Big Tech practices don't work for startups
02
First-time product people who act as the only or first product person on their teams and have limited training, mentorship, or coaching
03
Professionals who want to build on their strengths to get into product roles at small or mid-sized companies in weeks rather than years

David Jorjani
3x Head of Product (2 acquired), 7-year University Instructor, Startup Advisor & Coach, Linkedin Top Entrepreneurship Voice
I first started as a founding engineer of a startup. We didn't know what product was and how it could simplify everything for us. It was a painful 5-year period. Your startup experience doesn't have to be.
Three startups later in a similar capacity and many workshops, programs, and coaching sessions later, I have learned a few lessons to share.
My last two startups were acquired and I am still connected with many of my team members. I have mentored founders and teams at Founder Institute, Startup Weekend, Tech Stars, University of Toronto.
Skip the grueling grind and jump on the joyous journey.
