Cross the Product Leadership Chasm
You've found product-market fit. Now the way you built the product is preventing you from scaling it. The working methods that got you here cannot take you further.
Sound Familiar?
The Symptoms of the Product Leadership Chasm
These are the frustrations founders describe when their product organisation is stuck.
"Nothing moves unless I'm in the room."
"I hired more people but we're shipping slower."
"Features take forever, and when they ship, nothing moves the needle."
"We hired a VP of Product and they were gone in six months."
"Teams are hitting their OKRs but the company isn't growing."
"My engineers are using AI tools but I don't know if the output is safe."
