Lenny Rachitsky
Lenny started his career as an engineer, joining a startup right out of college as their first engineer where he quickly moved up the ranks to lead their engineering team. After spending nine years as an engineer and engineering leader, he decided to start his own company (Localmind), which he eventually sold to Airbnb.
After joining Airbnb, Lenny moved into Product where he spent seven years leading teams driving supply growth, conversion, community, Instant Book, and trip experience. In 2019 Lenny left Airbnb to tinker with new startup ideas and advise, and unexpectedly started a paid newsletter. These days, Lenny spends most of his time on the newsletter (#1 business newsletter on Substack), angel investing, and advising companies on product and growth.

Product Management Fundamentals
Learning is better with cohorts
Active learning, not passive watching
Workshops aren't lectures. Lenny won’t just talk to you, he’ll engage the class, facilitate breakout discussions, and leave plenty of time for Q&A. Think interactive seminar vs a massive lecture hall.
Learn with a cohort of peers
This course is designed to facilitate peer learning and interaction through Zoom breakout groups, an engaged Slack community and group projects.
Accountability and feedback
You’re a busy person. You can figure things out when you have to, but it’s important to have feedback and accountability to drive your likelihood of success.
Tactics, templates, and case studies
Don't expect just theory and principles. We learn best from applying what we learned into our day-to-day work. Expect to walk away from each week with next steps to improve your effectiveness as a PM.
