As someone whoā€™s already making climate-conscious choices in your personal life, youā€™re ready to take the next step: applying that mindset to your product management work. The world needs leaders who can create products that not only meet market demands but also support a sustainable future.


This is your chance to gain the skills that will define the future of product management.

In this 3-week program, we introduce the cutting-edge Product-Market-Earth Fit frameworkā€” going beyond traditional Product-Market-Fit to design products that solve user needs while minimizing environmental impact.
