What makes a prototype succeed? When is an MVP too minimal or too polished? And how do you know when you’re actually moving toward product-market fit?

Join us for the very first in-person roundtable session of The Product Group Hudson Valley, the new local chapter of the world’s largest and longest-running product management communities. Whether you're refining your early ideas or stress-testing a new product direction, this roundtable is all about the experimentation it takes to build real traction.

We’ll explore how smarter prototyping, fast learning loops, and intentional experimentation drive real progress toward product-market fit. Additionally, we’ll examine how product teams build MVPs that validate more than ideas by unlocking traction, insight, and confident execution.

* **Who should attend:** Product managers, aspiring PMs, product leaders, and anyone interested in understanding how AI is changing the role of product management --- whether you’re just starting out or already leading teams.
* **Takeaway:** Gain practical insights into how product teams design MVPs to learn fast, test assumptions, and move the product closer to real fit.
* **Format:** Interactive roundtable discussion, where everyone will share experiences, explore challenges, and exchange ideas on the prototyping and validation strategies that work.
* **Featured Product:** [Augie](https://augie.studio/)

We'll be joined by Augie's founder & CEO, Jeremy Toeman.

Augie is an AI-assisted video creation and editing studio that helps marketers and creators turn their ideas, scripts, and clips into polished, social-ready videos in minutes. Augie combines automation with intuitive controls to make high-quality video production accessible to anyone.

Jeremy Toeman will be joining us for the second half of the night's conversation. Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Augie, an AI-assisted video creation and editing studio for marketers and social media managers. He is also the creator and host of Founder at 50, a podcast and newsletter exploring the challenges and reinventions faced by entrepreneurs later in life.

* ***How do you leverage your product ecosystem and keep users coming back on their own?***

In this TPG Live roundtable, we will explore how product teams scale impact by working across company lines. From third-party integrations to long-term partnerships, growth increasingly depends on how well you navigate external ecosystems. Learn how to identify the right opportunities, align goals across organizations, and lead integrations that drive momentum without adding unnecessary complexity.

We will also examine what happens after users sign up. Onboarding is not just a step in the funnel. It is your first real chance to build trust, reduce churn, and deliver early value. Hear how teams craft onboarding experiences that stick, and how they sustain engagement through product education, well-timed support, and meaningful communication.

* **How do you turn partnerships and integrations into real product growth instead of just technical debt?**
* **What makes onboarding stick and keeps users coming back long after day one?**

This session brings together practical advice and hard-won insights from product leaders who have pushed for change in complex environments. Whether you’re trying to elevate your company’s product mindset or build better team collaboration, you’ll leave with strategies you can use right away.

This session brings together practical tactics from product leaders who have scaled through strategic partnerships and redefined onboarding for long-term success. Whether you are expanding through integrations or trying to retain new users, you will leave with strategies you can put to work immediately.

**RSVP now to join us live, ask your questions, and take part in the discussion. If you cannot attend live, you will receive a link to the full recording and recap.**

**Post questions / comments in the YouTube Chat to participate in the real-time conversation.**
