I believe multi-year tenures are under-appreciated, especially at early startups. I recently crossed 3 years at Maven. In this time, we’ve grown sales 8X with a lean team of 18 people. As we enter a new growth phase, I thought this would be a good time to reflect.

The best PMs I’ve worked with are “full stack.” And I think the rise of full stack PMs will usher in a new golden age for product managers: Companies are shrinking team size, AI is creating more leverage per employee, and product leaders are gaining more scope and influence. For some PMs, this will be a challenge. For others, a huge opportunity. To take advantage, you have to get your hands dirty. Do some of the analytics yourself, run growth experiments, and leverage AI to speed up your workflows. You may never be as good as the specialists - that’s OK. You’ll be faster when you do things yourself, drastically improving your productivity. And when you have a team of experts to work with, you’ll be a much more effective leader because you can get in the weeds and work directly with the specialists. I see this with Maven’s Head of Product, Rishin. He can work with nearly every team. He understands the business strategy, and also gets knee-deep on user flows and customer research. PMs who can stretch like this will dramatically increase their scope and responsibility. In our new series The Full Stack PM, we’ve brought together the PMs doing this best, to share their tactical tips with you. You can get started right now with these free lessons: bit.ly/full-stack-pm. Hear from: - The PM behind Figma Slides, @mihikapoor, on how to make an idea go internally viral - Analytics founder turned Stripe product lead, @g_xing, on how to build dashboards that drive alignment and action - The original IC PM, @talraviv, on how experienced product managers use ChatGPT - VP Product at Microsoft, @amitfulay, on how to ace high-stakes product reviews with executives - Former Director of Growth at Gitlab, @HilaQu, on how to create a data blueprint for product-led growth
