Product Finances: Be a PM, Think like a CFO

Behind every successful product is a sustainable business model. Yet, the intersection of Product and Finance is often the "missing link" in a Product Manager’s toolkit.
Join us for the March ProductTank meetup as we dive into how financial thinking fuels better product decisions and drives real-world impact. We’ll explore how product and engineering teams can work better together by mastering trust, collaboration, and the financial dynamics that show up day-to-day.
