Testimonials

 

Enrolling in this course was a game-changer for me. It wasn’t just another set of lectures but a focused blueprint for success.

The course was incredibly practical, offering real-world insights and strategies that were immediately implemented.

Thanks to this program, I’ve gained the confidence and skills to apply the learnings as I build products myself. The nature of the course keeps you accountable and provides immediate feedback loops that keep you engaged throughout.

Highly recommended for anyone serious about building ANYTHING but unsure about how and where to start.

The practical journey, intertwined with our own products, is complemented by mentorship spanning the spectrum of knowledge from both startups and large corporations.

I highly recommend this course for individuals seeking understanding of the practical aspects of Product Management, fostering insights for those aspiring to advance their entrepreneurial or PM journey. The community is a dynamic hub of like-minded and passionate individuals, collectively propelling each other forward.

No tech background, is it okay? 

Yes, we aim to make the training understandable to anyone, whether they’re from the tech or not.
