Sold my first SaaS in 2021. Product Manager, 8500+ students, featured by Lenny.

I’ve had my fair share of doubt when it came to technical skills. From flunking out of my first software engineering interview, to struggling to build my own SaaS products for years, I’ve always felt like an imposter.

Now, I want to help you do the same.
