Saying Goodbye to How To PM 👋
Saying Goodbye to How To PM 👋
And sharing what we have been up to
Hi there,
You may (or may not) have noticed that we were MIA for sometime now. So we thought we would do one last post. Our journey with How To PM has finally come to an end. After a 7 month hiatus, we decided that it's time to say a proper goodbye.
The journey has been incredibly rewarding for us. We got to distill and synthesize our learnings to share with you, speak to and learn from product leaders who gave us a lot to think about and made us strive for excellence, to show up every day for our users and customers and give them an experience that makes their lives better. That is why we kept telling ourselves that we will come back to this and will find ways to make time for How To PM. But the reality is that we have gotten busier than before with large undertakings that we need to put all our time and energy into.
So about that, here’s what we are up to…
AM - Since the beginning of How to PM, Andrew has transitioned from a PM to Group Product Manager, utilizing a lot of insights from the newsletter throughout the years. With a focus on Conversational AI and User Growth, he has been enjoying his time in building the “GPT for the enterprise.” Outside of work, he has continued to lead his non-profit, Latinx MBA, which has scaled to over 1K members across 130 MBA programs, and acquired Google as a key sponsor. With these endeavors, he hopes to continue to showcase the value of diversity within tech and business.
CM - Chandrika is living her founder dream and working on a fintech startup called Pull in the employee benefits space. At Pull, their mission is to revolutionize the way people access and manage their earnings with the goal of improving financial wellbeing and employee loyalty.
Pull recently launched their first product, Salary Advance, where users can get access to their long term future salary in advance. It’s in a closed beta and available in select states across the US. If you are looking for ways to pay off that student loan, put downpayment for a house or make any large purchase without going through the hassle of applying for a short term personal loan, join the waitlist. The beta is for limited time only where Pull is directly onboarding a small number of end users before they switch to a 100% employee benefits route.
And if you don’t need the money right now but just want to support, follow Pull on Twitter and LinkedIn for updates and help spread the word by sharing/retweeting future updates.
Safe to say that between their work and personal lives, both AM and CM have been pretty occupied and that’s why it’s time to wrap up this passion project. Over the last 3 years, we have heard from many of you that you have found the content valuable as you navigate your own product journey. So we are going to leave the content up for posterity.
And if you ever want to talk through any PM problems, decisions or just want to grab coffee, reach out to us on LinkedIn - Andrew and Chandrika.
Till then, happy PMing ✌️
