Online meetup: Lessons from Shifting PM → Founder

Please note this is an online event. If you want to attend in person, please RSVP to our In-Person Event.

-------

Product Managers are uniquely positioned to become founders. Years spent living in customer problems, making prioritisation calls under uncertainty, and shipping products across competing constraints is excellent preparation for building a company from scratch. The question remains which skills to activate first and which to actively develop before making the leap.

This event convenes a panel of Product Managers who have successfully made the transition into founding — and are building companies today. Drawing on first-hand experience, they will cover what most founder talks omit: the PM skills that translate into a genuine competitive advantage, the capability gaps that require deliberate development, and a grounded, month-by-month account of what the first year of building demands. The result is a practical, unvarnished briefing designed to help you make an informed decision about the leap — and, should you choose to make it, to make it well-prepared.

Emma Burrows - Founder @ Rezonant, Ex-CTO @ Stripe UK

Sean Jayakrishna - Product Manager @ Checkout, Former Founder
