What you'll learn

A Product mindset that fosters clarity in product thinking

Learn how to integrate leadership principles, mental models, and cognitive frameworks to make smarter product decisions.

A Customer mindset that enables deep customer insights

Learn how to build customer empathy to uncover unmet needs, identify opportunities others miss, and develop a strategy.

A Builder mindset that turns abstract concepts into products

Learn how to work backward from the customer to build products with the highest potential for product-market fit.

Why this topic matters

Product-market fit (PMF) makes or breaks startups. Most teams scramble to pivot after failing to achieve PMF, but the real seeds are sown much earlier. Discover the hidden mindsets that determine your fate from day one: the Product Mindset for clear thinking, Customer Mindset for genuine user insights, and Builder Mindset for translating insights into products people love. Join to unlock success.
