Hi! Congratulations on the launch. I'm a big fan of what you folks are doing over there and I genuinely love your product.
Would love to keep in touch to see when the changes to this will happen. Also speaking as a ceo & founder, my natural inclination is to keep that culture going, small and avoid hiring a PM as long as possible. As I reflect on my operating time, I wonder if it was a mistake not to find the right Product Manager (sic) early so that they can be inoculated with the culture as we grow. My estimation is that the ramp time for this would be at least 6 months (a year?) to have that future product manager operate with the same founding ethos.
Lmk if you're open to chatting about it. I'm honestly super curious.

That's an interesting thought. We do have some techies "acting" as PMs across the team, but i can see how we might one a dedicated person at some point.
always open to chatting to other founders - feel free to reach out.
Interesting. I've never worked in a completely tech-led company before, but it seems like a good approach. My philosophy on it has changed a little: I used to think PM should be embedded in technical teams writing tickets, à la Scrum Product Owners, but now I think things function better when the team writes its tickets, and the PM works at a more general level: features, direction, marketing, legal, regulatory, etc etc.
