    TSPPB: Dave interviews Sandi Lin, CEO and co-founder of Skilljar

    Sandi has had a remarkable career so far. She trained as a civil engineer at MIT, did an MBA at Stadford, moved into product management at Amazon, and now runs a very successful SaaS company, Skilljar.  Skilljar, founded in Seattle in 2013, is a fully distributed, ~150-person company that provides a customer education platform to over 400 customers.  We discuss: Why do product managers make great founders? How has your product planning process evolved from founder to startup to scaleup stages? As CEO with a product background, how do you interact with your product team now? Has it been challenging to pull back? You used to work at Amazon. What are key similarities and differences in product management from a large company to a startup? What have you found as your blind spots as a former Product Manager?

    TSPPB: Thomas interviews Tim Geisenheimer, CEO /Cofounder of Correlated.

    Tim is the CEO and Co-Founder of Correlated, the leading product-led revenue platform for sales teams. Correlated recently launched publicly and announced an $8.3 million round of funding led by Harrison Metal and NextView Ventures. Prior to founding Correlated, Tim was an early executive team member at two data and analytics startups: Facet and Timescale. Timescale recently raised a $40 million Series B from Redpoint. Earlier in his career he was on the founding team of TapCommerce, a leading marketing tech startup which was acquired by Twitter for a reported $100 million. Tim has led sales, partnerships and go-to-market teams throughout his career and has witnessed the transition to product-led growth as a go-to-market motion firsthand." He also plays a mean game of Poker.  We talk Product Led Growth/Revenue. What is PLG? Hype and reality….  What are its strengths and limitations? How do product managers work in the PLG model? Which team in the revenue org is most responsible for expansion, sales or CS? How do sales teams in companies with a PLG motion optimally insert themselves into GTM? When should PLG companies hire sales? Are “traditional” SaaS companies starting to pursue a PLG model? What’s working/not working?

    We speak with Dan Faulkner, CTO of Plannuh, about building great product teams.  Dave is an advisor to Plannuh. After getting a master’s in speech and language processing, Dan worked for speech recognition powerhouse Nuance for well over a decade, first as a researcher and later moving into product and business unit management. Our topic is how to build great product teams.  Among other questions, we ask Dan: What makes a great product team? What is his four-part framework for thinking about product teams (e.g., context, talent, change, and location)? Why context matters so much? How to deal with the army you have vs. the army you want? How to think about change and risk? The tradeoffs in location strategy and colocation of PM and ENG? How to think about and drive diversity across a number of dimensions?

    Paul was a successful VC, but moved to become a founder and CEO.  In this episode we explore how to build a successful enterprise SaaS business, targeting the complex problem of accounting collections. It sounds niche, but there is lots to learn from Paul about building products for the line of business.  Niches can be super profitable, and can grow into significant market categories. We look at how SaaS products can function as a layer on top of existing applications, partner strategies and much more.

Questions include: How do you synthesize data-led and design-led product management? How did your psychology and software engineering background help you as a product leader? How do you hire strong product leaders? What was like for a product-oriented cofounder to hand-off the reins to an “outsider” (i.e., newly hired outside expert) product leader?
