4 Ways Product Managers Make Better Entrepreneurs 1. Here are the reasons I think a career in product management makes you especially prepared to start your own company or perhaps lead as a CEO.
For example, Susan Wojcicki, the CEO of YouTube, was the first product manager for Google’s AdSense. Many CEOs of well-known companies have had product management experience during their careers. While there are plenty of examples of product managers becoming founders, it’s not the only path. But the experience I gained through my product management career lowered my risk and made it “easier” to find success. Being an entrepreneur and running a new company is hard work. I’m not claiming it was easy leaping into entrepreneurship. I believe that product management is a great training ground for entrepreneurship. Product managers are usually high-performing people who have a variety of skills in different areas. Many of them also one day want to start their own company. I also spend time with students at different technology programs-it’s becoming more common for many of them to want to embark on a product management career. In ProductPlan’s 2021 State of Product Management Report, we learned that 27% of product managers said they wanted to start their own company in the next 10 years. Our surveys at ProductPlan support this trend of product managers (PM) desiring the entrepreneurial life. As I continued to help launch products, I realized that I was prepared to dive into entrepreneurial life myself. Every one of those conversations is exciting because that was my dream too.Īfter a decade of working with others to launch successful SaaS products, I took the plunge to launch a startup in 2013.
But, as we’ve previously pointed out, at this price level, the device is clearly aimed at developers interested in building on the Magic Leap platform.I’ve spoken with so many product managers who have a dream of becoming an entrepreneur or launching their own product one day. With all this in mind, iFixit saddled the Magic Leap One with a 3 out of 10 repairability score. The experts at iFixit ended up settling on a fairly low grade for the device citing things such as “intense glue barriers,” battery location, and lack of upgradability. iFixit also breaks down how the headset tracks the location of the device’s handheld controller via magnetic copper coils. The Magic Leap One’s “Lightpack,” which is a small wearable computer that powers the headset, is also dissected unveiling its battery, cooling power, and a number of chips by companies such as NVIDIA and Samsung. Infrared sensors to track eye movement as well as lenses with 6 layers - one for each color channel on two separate focal planes. IFixit’s breakdown of the headset finds 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage, as well as the Nvidia Tegra X2 SoC, which they point out is most often found in self-driving cars. “Based on the amount of money raised for this project, we’re hoping it’s powered by pixie dust-but only a teardown will tell.” “The Magic Leap One’s mixed-reality tech has been so much pie in the sky for so long, we can hardly believe we have it on our teardown table” points out iFixit in their breakdown.
