Lessons from Shifting PM to Founder | ProductTank London

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.

Our speakers:
Emma Burrows - Founder @ Rezonant, Ex-CTO @ Stripe UK

Sean Jayakrishna - Product Manager @ Checkout, Former Founder

As always we will close our meet-up with a candid discussion and Q&A.
This event is sponsored by Rezonant.
